Social Chat
by Oybek
Social Chat changes how the default Minecraft chat looks and behaves, adding mentions, sound alerts, emoji shortcuts and a typing list.
What it does
Typing a player's name in chat mentions that player, and the mention plays a notification sound so a busy player can notice it. Typing everyone sends a notice to the whole group. The mod also shows which players are online and offers autocomplete as names are typed, so a chat line can be finished without leaving the keyboard.
Emoji are added through an emoji picker and through Minecraft's built-in emoji system rather than through textures bundled with the mod. A compatible resource pack can change how the emoji look. The mod is built to stay light and simple, and to sit alongside vanilla gameplay. Its core features work entirely on the client.
Installation on Fabric is the only loader option, and the build targets 1.21.11 only. The mod runs client-side only, so servers can run without it. Typing indicators are the one exception: they need the mod on the server as well, and they show Steve typing... or 3 players typing... above the chat. Social Chat is released under the MIT License and is not open source.
Key features
Player mentions
Mentioning a player by name triggers a sound notification on that player's side of the chat.
Everyone mentions
A mention of everyone sends a notification sound to all players in the chat at once.
Emoji picker
An emoji picker opens from the chat screen so emoji can be inserted without typing their codes.
Online player list
Typing shows a list of players currently online, which supports autocomplete for names.
Typing indicators
With the mod on the server as well as the client, other players see when someone is typing in chat.
