TabbyChat Unofficial 1.7.10
by mist475
TabbyChat Unofficial 1.7.10 organizes the Minecraft chat window into separate tabs, each filled by rules the player sets up.
What it does
Chat messages are sorted into tabs by channel delimiters the player chooses, and tabs can also be created by hand. Custom filters route any message that matches a chosen expression into a specific tab, so direct messages and channel traffic can be read apart from the general feed. Matching text can be highlighted with a color or formatting, and a notification sound can play when a filtered message arrives. New chat channels and private messages are searched for automatically.
The mod is a fork of TabbyChat that fixes a few bugs, and it was originally written by RocketMan10404 before later maintenance by Killjoy1221 and Dykam. The author states that the project is unofficial and not affiliated with the original creators. The 1.7 line is the last Minecraft version this mod targets. Players add it to their own game, and a server needs no copy. It requires Forge, and the code is under a custom license that is not open source.
Key features
Tabs from delimiters
Chat-channel delimiters can be chosen by the player, and each one defines a tab that collects matching lines.
Custom filters
Messages matching a chosen expression are routed into a specific tab, keeping direct messages apart from the rest of the chat.
Highlighting and sounds
Matching text can be shown with a color or formatting, and a notification sound can play when it appears.
Sending and hiding
Messages can be sent to a specific tab or to several tabs, and matching messages can be prevented from displaying.
Automatic channel detection
New chat channels and private message conversations are picked up automatically, so tabs appear without manual setup.
