Twitch Chat
by san4ezez
Twitch Chat brings a streamer's Twitch chat into the game window, so a player can read messages without switching to a browser or second screen.
What it does
The mod connects the game to a selected Twitch channel and shows its chat messages in-game. Login is required, and the mod asks for an OAuth token with read-only access, so it can read the channel without posting on the account. Players pick the channel they want to follow and can set the mod to start automatically when the game launches.
Each card is a client-side only mod: it changes nothing on a server, and players join a server without installing it. Files exist for Fabric and NeoForge. Builds for 1.21.1 and 26.1 are published, with 2.0.0 as the latest file for each loader. The source code is public under the MIT License, so the project is open source.
Key features
Live channel chat
Messages from the selected Twitch channel appear inside the game as they are posted.
Channel selection
The player chooses which channel to read, and can change the channel without restarting the game.
Message highlighting
Chat messages can be highlighted in the game so that important lines are easier to spot.
Sound notifications
A sound plays when a new message arrives, which helps players notice chat while they play.
Auto-start option
An auto-start preference makes the mod connect to chat as soon as Minecraft launches.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Streams and co-streams
A player who watches a channel while playing can keep up with its chat without leaving the game.
Single-player play
Someone playing alone can follow a community chat in the same window as the game.
Who it’s for: Players who follow a Twitch channel while they play, on Fabric or NeoForge for 1.21.1 or 26.1. It suits anyone who wants chat visible inside the game rather than in a browser.
