Toro's Auto Message
by torobolin
Toro's Auto Message sends chat messages from the client on a fixed timer, so a player can keep a repeating message going while away from the keyboard.
What it does
Once the mod is installed, the player sets a message and a time period in its config, and the client sends that message again each time the period passes. The period can be changed at any time in the config, and the timer keeps running while the Minecraft window is minimized.
The mod is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs it and servers do not have to install anything. It requires Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib), and Mod Menu is optional. Files are published for Fabric across six game versions, 1.20.4 – 1.21.4, with 1.0 for 1.21.4 as the latest file, and the mod is not open source; its code is under All rights reserved.
Key features
Timed repeating messages
The client sends a chosen message automatically at a set interval, without the player typing it each time.
Adjustable interval
The time between messages can be changed in the config, so the period can be tuned without restarting the timed sequence by hand.
Runs in the background
The timer continues when the Minecraft window is minimized, so messages still go out while another program is in front.
Config access
Settings open from an owo-config screen, and Mod Menu can be used as an alternative route to the same options.

Use cases
Staying active in a server chat
A player who must appear present in a chat channel can send a periodic message while working in another window.
Repeating reminders
A player can use a fixed message on a schedule to keep a standing announcement in front of other players.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a message sent on a timer from their own client, and who are comfortable installing Fabric API and oωo (owo-lib) beside it.
How it compares
Auto chat is a Fabric client-side mod released under CC0 1.0 Universal, not open source, and it targets 1.21.1 only. Time Lived is open source under the MIT License and runs server-side only for 1.20.1 – 26.2, so it is a different kind of mod. MacroTime is a client-side Fabric mod under the Apache License 2.0, not open source, covering 1.21 – 26.1.2.
