SimpleChat fork++
by UserLog
SimpleChat fork++ is a server-side chat customization mod for Fabric, with settings for global and world chat, color chat, group display and history clearing.
What it does
Server owners can adjust chat with a small set of simple settings. Global chat and world-local chat can each be turned off, and color chat can be disabled on its own. A player's group can be shown next to the name through LuckPerms, and a placeholder can insert the player's nickname and message into a chat format. The configuration reloads with a command, so changes apply without restarting the server. The mod does not work in single player.
Installation is on the server only, so players join without installing anything. The mod needs Fabric and is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.20 – 1.21.11 across 19 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 2.4.5 for 1.21.11, published on 2026-01-09 on the beta channel. Reloading the configuration requires a permission level, and the command clears chat history on demand.
Key features
Global and world chat toggles
Global chat and world-local chat can each be switched off in the configuration, so the server keeps one chat channel.
Color chat toggle
Colored chat messages can be turned off for the whole server from the settings.
Group display through LuckPerms
The player's LuckPerms group can be shown in front of messages, with the format set in the configuration.
Chat history clearing
A command clears the stored chat history, and the configuration reloads on demand without a restart.

Use cases
Small servers with simple rules

Servers using Vanish and LuckPerms
Staff who hide with Vanish or who are grouped with LuckPerms are handled by the mod's integrations with those two mods.
Who it’s for: Server owners running Fabric who want to limit or label chat without adding a larger chat system. Players need nothing installed on their side.
