Velochat
by harveyhmb
Velochat is a cross-server chat mod for Fabric that carries chat between servers and players through configurable channels.
What it does
Velochat routes chat across connected servers so that messages sent in one place reach players elsewhere in the network. Chat Channels can be set up as global or per-server channels, and the mod supports MiniMessage formatting in its configuration, so server owners can style messages with colors and other tags. Players can also be given custom prefixes, suffixes and usernames when LuckPerms is present on the server.
The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything, and the server owner handles all setup. Velochat is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for Fabric, Paper and Velocity, with the Fabric build targeting 26.2 only, released as 1.0.0 on 2026-07-28.
Server owners who run a network of linked servers, or who want one chat across several game instances, are the main audience. Velochat also fits single servers that want configurable formatting and permission-based chat rules without adding a client-side install for players.
Key features
Cross-server chat
Messages are relayed between connected servers, so players on different instances share the same channels.
Chat channels
Global and per-server channels can be defined in the configuration, each with its own routing.
MiniMessage formatting
Chat lines can be styled with MiniMessage tags set in the config, including colors and text decorations.
LuckPerms integration
Custom usernames, prefixes and suffixes are read from LuckPerms when it is installed on the server.

Use cases

How it compares
Chat Channels is a Fabric mod that runs on the client only, targets 1.21.8 – 26.2 and is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not handle server-to-server routing. PrefixPals is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, but it covers 1.21.11 alone. PrivyChat needs both client and server, targets 26.1.2 – 26.2, and is closed under All rights reserved.
