Description
BetterForgeChat
A Forge based serverside chat mod to allow prefixes, suffixes and integration with LuckPerms and FTB-Essentials nicknames. (Now with discord integration available in the 1.3.0 beta pre-release)
NOTICE
I won't port this mod because I simply don't have time, but somebody else did! Try the ported version here: BetterForgeChat Reborn
Special Thanks to RealGamersParadise for maintaining this updated version!
Why does this exist?
If you are building a forge modded server on MC1.18.2 there unfortunately are no decent mods available due to SpongeForge not supporting MC1.18.2 - this mod only supports MC1.18.2 forge servers for this very reason.
To date this is the most feature-rich chat mod for Forge 1.18.2 blowing all others out of the water
