Toggle /teammsg
by _nahtan.
Toggle /teammsg is a small Fabric client mod that switches the default chat target between team chat and regular chat.
What it does
Once installed, the mod lets a player turn team messaging on or off with a toggle command, so plain chat lines can be sent to the team without typing a prefix each time. The command can be shortened to ttm, and the setting decides whether an ordinary message goes to team chat or to the all-chat channel. Players who prefer the vanilla behavior can switch it back at any time.
The mod also keeps the vanilla reply feature working, so a message answered with r goes to the person who last wrote to the player, whether that message was a team line or a regular one. It only changes what happens on the client, so it works on servers that use custom team systems from other plugins or mods, and nothing needs to be added to the server.
Toggle /teammsg requires Fabric API and runs client-side only: only the client needs it, and servers do not. Files target 1.20.1 alone, and the code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.
Key features
Team chat toggle
A command switches plain chat lines between team chat and the regular all-chat channel.
Short command alias
The toggle is also available as ttm, so a single keystroke sequence changes the mode.
Vanilla reply support
The r command replies to the last player who sent a private message, and the reply works with normal messages.

Use cases
Team play on a shared server
Players who coordinate in a team can keep their lines in team chat without retyping a prefix for every message.
Switching back to all chat
After team coordination ends, the same toggle sends ordinary messages to the regular channel again.
Who it’s for: Players on multiplayer servers that use team chat, including servers with custom teams from other plugins or mods, who want a quick way to send plain messages to the team.
How it compares
Meeps is a Fabric client mod for 1.20.4, closed source under All rights reserved, and it does not toggle chat modes. Reply Mod is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and covers Fabric, Quilt and Ornithe 1.3.1 – 26.3, so it is the broader choice for reply behavior. TP Chat Command is an open source client mod under the MIT License for 1.20 – 1.20.1, which overlaps with this mod's version range but targets chat commands instead of the team toggle.
