Text Tunnels

by olim88

Text Tunnels lets players split incoming chat into separate channels, so messages from different sources land in their own tunnels on a Fabric client.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.21 – 26.3

What it does

Each tunnel collects the chat messages whose text matches a pattern, and it can be configured to catch messages from a given group. Because the grouping is decided by pattern matching rather than by the server, a tunnel picks up any message that fits its rule, including messages on networks such as Hypixel.

Configuration runs through a YetAnotherConfigLib screen that lists the tunnels and their groups. The mod ships a default setup for several well-known servers and detects the server a player has joined, so common networks work with little or no editing. Users can also write custom group expressions and add tunnels of their own. Mod Menu can open the settings screen if it is installed.

Text Tunnels requires Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL). It runs on the client alone, and the server needs nothing. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later, and files are published for Fabric on 1.21 – 26.3.

Key features

  1. Chat splitting

    Incoming chat is sorted into separate tunnels, so each channel can be read on its own without the rest of the messages.

  2. Pattern-based grouping

    A tunnel accepts messages that match its group pattern, and the pattern can be changed while the game runs.

  3. Server auto-detection

    The mod recognizes the server a player has joined and applies the matching default tunnel configuration for several well-known networks.

  4. Custom groups and regex

    Players can define a custom group with a regular expression and assign it to a tunnel.

  5. Settings screen

    A YetAnotherConfigLib screen configures which tunnels exist and how they separate the separate channels of each server.

Questions

Does Text Tunnels need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) are both required dependencies, so both must be installed for the mod to load.

Does Text Tunnels have to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which game versions have files?

Files exist for 1.21 – 1.21.11 and for 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2, 26.2 and 26.3, with 1.4.0+1.21.11 as the latest Fabric file.

Can tunnels be set up for a server without defaults?

Yes. Custom group regular expressions can be entered in the settings screen and assigned to a tunnel.
