Stoneworks HUD chat
by DuperKnight
Stoneworks HUD chat, an unofficial Fabric client mod, shows the chat channel a player has selected on screen as a HUD element.
What it does
The HUD displays the currently selected Stoneworks channel with a colorized prefix. It updates on its own when the server reports a channel change, so the display stays in step with the chat a player is writing to. The mod is designed mainly for Stoneworks, and it can also work on other RedisChat-based servers after a player adds the channels by hand. Default Stoneworks channels are added automatically where they are missing.
Players reposition the HUD by dragging it, using handles that snap to the screen edges and center. Alignment can be set to left-to-right, center or right-to-left, and a scale control keeps the text readable within clamped minimum and maximum sizes. The settings live in an in-game HUD config screen, which can be opened from a key binding, and a separate toggle hides or shows the display.
Stoneworks HUD chat requires Fabric API and is released under the MIT License, and the source code is public. Its files target 1.21.4 – 1.21.8, with 0.1.5+1.21.8 for 1.21.8 as the latest build.
