Zulip Bridge

by zotan

Zulip Bridge links a Minecraft server's chat with a Zulip channel, so messages from both sides reach each other.

What it does

Messages move in both directions between the in-game chat and the chosen Zulip channel. Server events such as server start and stop, player join and leave, player death and advancements can be forwarded to the channel too. Markdown formatting is not translated yet, so formatted text arrives as plain characters.

The configuration file gives fine-grained control over which events are bridged, and chat messages alone can be switched off while other events keep flowing. Architectury API and Fabric API are required, and the mod is server-side only, so players join without installing anything. Builds target Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.16.5 – 26.3, and the code is released into the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal, with source code and an issue tracker available.

Key features

  1. Two-way chat bridge

    Messages typed in Minecraft appear in the Zulip channel, and messages posted there appear in the game chat.

  2. Server event forwarding

    Server start and stop, player join and leave, deaths and advancements can be posted to the channel as they happen.

  3. Granular event control

    Each bridged event can be enabled or disabled separately in the configuration, including plain chat messages.

  4. Markdown not yet translated

    Formatting in Zulip messages is not converted to in-game styling at present.

How it compares

Full comparison

TeaBridge is server-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for Fabric and Quilt across 1.19.2 – 1.21.1. Mc2Discord is also server-side only and open source under the Apache License 2.0, but it bridges Discord rather than Zulip and covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.12.2 – 26.3. Chat Channels is a client-side only Fabric mod under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, so it does not run on the server.

Questions

Does Zulip Bridge need to be on the players' side?

No. The mod is server-side only, so players join without installing it. Only the server runs the bridge.

Which dependencies does Zulip Bridge require?

Architectury API and Fabric API are required dependencies. Both must be installed next to Zulip Bridge on the server.

Can server events be turned off separately from chat?

Yes. The configuration file lets each event be bridged or left out, and chat messages can be disabled while server events continue.
