The W Chatfilter
by ChillDisc
The W Chatfilter is a Fabric client mod that masks bad words and bad phrases in chat, signs, server MOTDs and most other text the client shows.
What it does
Filtering runs on the client, so only the player's own game is affected: a word on the filter list is hidden before it reaches the screen. The mod is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. Files are for Fabric and 1.21.8 only, with 2.1.0 as the latest build from 2026-07-05. It needs Fabric API and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), and Mod Menu is optional.
Players on anarchy servers or other servers with no filtering can turn the mod off or leave it out, since nothing needs to change on the server side.
Key features
Word and phrase filtering
Single bad words and longer bad phrases are filtered from chat, signs, server MOTDs and most other displayed text.
Client-side operation
The filter applies only in the player's own client, so servers are unaffected and players join without installing anything.
Configurable list
Filtered words and phrases are set through the mod's config screen, which YetAnotherConfigLib provides.

What the author says
This mod is handy for anarchy servers and no-filtering servers. That is about all there is to this mod. This mod was made with AI (gemini, and claude). Please don't annoy me about that, it is how AI should be used, not for creativity that you can do, but for something like coding stuff you came up with but can't code.
