[ABANDONED] SimpleChat - Chat mod for Fabric servers

by rantuhin

SimpleChat changes the chat on Fabric servers with a small set of simple settings, including global and local chat and color chat, and can be turned off separately.

FabricClient or server, optionalMIT LicenseOpen source1.16.5 – 1.18.2

What it does

Administrators can customize chat through a configuration file that covers the simple settings. Global chat and local chat can be switched off, and color chat can be disabled. The configuration can be reloaded with a command while the server keeps running, provided the player has the required permission level. Messages can use placeholders: player% inserts the sender's nickname and message% inserts the text of the message.

Developers can listen for a player chat event through the PlayerChatCallback class in the me.vetustus.server.simplechat.api.event package. Using a ChatMessage subclass, a handler can control how a message is sent, cancel it, or change it. The mod also works in single-player games. Version 1.17 requires Java 16. Either side can run it, and neither needs it.

SimpleChat is open source under the MIT License. It is built for Fabric and has files for 1.16.5, 1.17, 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2, with 1.3.0 for 1.18.2 as the latest file. The project is abandoned, and its last update was on 2022-03-01.

Key features

  1. Global and local chat toggles

    Global chat and local chat can each be turned off in the configuration, leaving only the chat types a server wants.

  2. Color chat toggle

    Colored chat messages can be disabled, so every message is shown in plain text.

  3. Reload without restart

    The configuration reloads with a command, so changes apply without restarting the server, for players with the required permission level.

  4. Placeholder formatting

    The player% and message% placeholders let a server build its own chat format from the sender's nickname and the message text.

  5. Player chat event

    A chat event lets other mods hook into messages, and a ChatMessage subclass can cancel a message or change it before it is sent.

Questions

It has files for 1.16.5, 1.17, 1.18, 1.18.1 and 1.18.2. The latest file is 1.3.0 for 1.18.2, published on 2022-03-01.

Can the chat settings be changed without restarting the server?

Yes. The configuration can be reloaded with the simplechat command, and a player needs the required permission level to run it.

What the author says

You can use the placeholder %player% to specify the player's nickname and the placeholder %message% to specify their message in the chat. You can reload the configuration without restarting the server or the game using the /simplechat command (requires permission level 1 or more).
