SimpleChatKeys
by Losterixx
SimpleChatKeys lets players build chat messages from customizable placeholders that show live details such as location, coordinates, health and the real-life time and date.
What it does
Placeholders are short tags typed into chat that the client replaces with current values before the message is sent. The values cover the player's name and UUID, the dimension and biome the player stands in, the player's coordinates, and the player's health. Two further placeholders insert the real-life time and date from the system clock, so a message can carry a timestamp without a separate clock.
The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.3, with 1.0.0 as the only release. It is client-side only, so a player can use it on a server without the server having the mod, and single-player worlds work the same way. It depends on the Fabric Language Kotlin mod, which must be installed alongside it. SimpleChatKeys is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
Customizable chat placeholders
Placeholders can be combined with ordinary text, so a message can be built from several values in one line.
Location and dimension tags
Tags report the player's current dimension, biome and coordinates, useful for sharing a position with a group.
Player identity tags
Tags insert the player's name and UUID into a message, for logs, shout-outs or mod-like chat formats.
Health tag
A tag inserts the player's current health, so others in the chat can see the state of the player at that moment.
Real-life time and date
Tags insert the system's current time and date, letting a message carry a real-world timestamp.

Use cases
Sharing a location
A player who finds a base or a resource can post the dimension, biome and coordinates in one message.
Timestamped messages
Real-life time and date tags add a clock reading to a message for records kept during a long session.
Who it’s for: The mod suits players who share positions and status in multiplayer chat, and anyone who wants chat messages to carry live game or clock data. It changes only what the player types on their own client.
How it compares
SimpleChatKeys is built for chat placeholders that read the player's own state. G1axNameHistory is also client-side only and open source under the MIT License, for 1.21 – 1.21.11, but it tracks name changes instead of chat text. Coord Manager is open source under the MIT License for 1.21 – 26.3 and can run on a client, a server or both, so it covers coordinates in a different way.
