Description

Client Chat Channels

A client-side mod that adds chat channels to the game.

Channels

🌍 Global

Works like vanilla chat - all players on the server can see your messages (unless otherwise configured by the server).

🔊 Local

Messages are only sent to players within a specified distance from you.

✉️ Direct

Messages are sent exclusively to one or more specific players.

👥 Team

Messages are only sent to your teammates.

How It Works

When using a channel other than global, the mod automatically converts your chat messages into private messages using the /‍msg or /‍teammsg command and sends them only to the intended recipients.

Commands

You can use commands to switch between different channels:

Command Usage /‍channel global Switches to the global channel. /‍channel local <radius> Switches to the local channel. If the radius is omitted, the default radius will be used. /‍channel direct <recipients> Switches to the direct channel. If recipients are omitted, the nearest player will be selected. Recipients should be space-separated. /‍channel team Switches to the team channel. /‍channel status Displays information about the currently selected channel.

Hotkeys

You can also use hotkeys to quickly switch between channels:

Channel / Action Default Hotkey Global U Local I Direct O Team K Show status Not bound

Configuration

Channel indicators and the default range of the local channel can be customized using Cloth Config.
Hotkeys can be configured in Minecraft's key binding options.
