vanutp's Telegram Bridge
by vanutp
vanutp's Telegram Bridge relays messages between a Minecraft server chat and a Telegram group, so players and Telegram users can talk to each other.
What it does
Messages sent in the game chat are forwarded to a linked Telegram chat, and messages written in that chat appear on the server. The bridge can use Telegram topics, so each topic can carry its own stream, and the bot only works in the dedicated topic set up for it. Individual features are switched on or off in the configuration file, and server owners decide which parts of the bridge are active.
The bridge runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it also works on the Paper, Purpur and Folia server platforms. Because it is installed only on the server, players join without installing anything. Builds cover 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the required dependencies are Fabric API, Fabric Language Kotlin and Kotlin for Forge, depending on the loader. The code is open source under the MIT License, and public links to the source code, issue tracker and wiki are available.
Key features
Two-way chat relay
Chat from the game and messages from Telegram are passed to each other, so both sides follow one conversation.
Telegram topic support
The bot can post into a specific Telegram topic, keeping the bridge traffic separate from other discussion in the group.
Toggleable features
Each feature of the bridge can be turned on or off in the configuration, so a server keeps only the parts it needs.

Use cases
Community server chat
A server owner links the in-game chat to a Telegram group so players who are away from the game can still follow the server.
Staff coordination
Admins can keep a dedicated Telegram topic for moderation messages, separate from public chat.
Who it’s for: Server owners who want the game chat connected to a Telegram group, and communities that already use Telegram for discussion alongside their Minecraft server.
