TwitchChat
TwitchChat forwards messages from a Twitch channel's chat into the in-game chat window, so players can read stream messages while they play.
What it does
Once a Twitch channel is configured, TwitchChat relays that channel's messages into Minecraft's chat. The connection starts automatically when a player enters a world or joins a server, and closes when they leave. Setup uses the twitchchat command, and the settings are kept in a JSON file that can be edited by hand.
Installation requires Fabric Loader, Fabric API and Twitch4J. Streamotes: Streamer Emotes is an optional dependency for showing emotes in the chat feed. The environment is client-side only, so servers do not need the mod, and it is published for Fabric across 9 release versions, 1.21 – 1.21.8. The code is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only.
Key features
Twitch chat forwarding
Messages from the configured Twitch channel appear in the in-game chat as they arrive.
Setup through a command
The twitchchat command lets a player set up the channel connection without editing files first.
JSON configuration
Settings are stored in a JSON file, so the channel and related options can be changed outside the game.
Automatic connection
The link to Twitch opens when a player enters a world or server and closes when they leave.

Use cases
Streaming while playing
A streamer can keep an eye on viewer messages in game without switching to a browser window.
Watching a channel in single-player
A player following a Twitch channel can read its chat while playing alone.
Who it’s for: Players who follow a Twitch channel during play, and streamers who want viewer messages visible in the game window. Because the mod is client-side only, it needs installing only by players, not by server owners.
How it compares
Custom Chat is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11, licensed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and open source, so it covers a different version than TwitchChat. FabrChatDisabling is a Fabric client mod for 1.21.11 under the MIT License and not open source, which makes it a chat-blocking tool rather than a relay for Twitch messages. Stream chat targets Fabric for 26.2 – 26.3 and is not open source.
