by Vivi

RPChat is a server-side Fabric mod that adds local chat and roleplay commands to a server.

FabricServer-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.19.2

What it does

On a server running RPChat, players can talk in local chat, and a small set of commands suits roleplay servers. Commands can be enabled or disabled in the config, and text formatting modes have configurable ranges. Only operators can toggle chat mode. The mod requires Fabric API, and only the server needs it installed. RPChat breaks chat reporting, though mods such as Chat Reports still function on servers where most messages are reportable. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for 1.19.2.

Key features

  1. Local chat

    Messages can be limited to players near the speaker, which suits roleplay scenes on a server.

  2. Roleplay commands

    A handful of commands, each switchable in the config, cover the actions roleplay servers use most.

  3. Formatting and operator control

    Text formatting modes have configurable ranges, and only operators can switch the chat mode.
