WordLeaderboards
WordLeaderboards counts how often players say chosen words in chat and shows the results as leaderboards on a Fabric server.
What it does
Admins pick the words to watch with a command, and the mod counts each time a player types one of them in chat. Results can be viewed as a ranking of who says a word most, and as a per-word breakdown with detailed stats. A word can be added or removed at any time, so the tracked list changes as a server's interests change.
The mod is server-side only: players join without installing it, and only the server needs the file. Commands are split by permission, so admin actions require a permission level, while viewing leaderboards is open to everyone. It is open source under the MIT License and is published for Fabric alone, with a single version, v1.0 for 1.21.10, dated 2025-10-31.
Installation takes one step: place the file in the mods folder of a Fabric server running 1.21.10. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Chat word counting
Each message is checked for the tracked words, and every match is added to that word's count automatically.
Add and remove words
The addword and removeword commands change the tracked list, and a removed word stops being counted from that point on.
Per-word statistics
The wordstats command shows detailed figures for one tracked word, so an admin can see its usage at a glance.
Leaderboard progress
The wordprogress command shows the current leader for a word and the count behind that lead.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Server favorite words
A community can track its own slang or catchphrases and see which ones members use most.
Chat engagement tracking
Admins can follow how a specific topic or term spreads through public chat over time.
Who it’s for: Server owners and admins who want to see which words players use in chat. Players can view the leaderboards without any setup on their side.
How it compares
Spellwords is also a Fabric mod with server-side only installation and an MIT License, but it is built for 1.21.11 where WordLeaderboards targets 1.21.10. Chat Minigames is server-side only and MIT licensed for 1.21.10, yet it is a game-style chat mod rather than a word counter. Leaderboard Config runs client-side only and is not open source, so it does not replace a server-side counter.
