Immersive RP: Proximity Chat

A roleplay-centric mod that adds a distance-based text-chat function & self assigned nicknames (with color!).

Overview
   Made with the roleplay experience in mind, this mod adds quality of life features for text-based chatting to fully immerse yourself into the story. Not only can you SCREAM and whisper at different block ranges, but when you're getting some down-time and enjoying base minecraft activities, you can choose to lurk on other people's RPs from across the map! (They'll know.. don't metagame 🫵)

NOTE

I really needed this for my Minecraft roleplay and couldn’t find one available for Forge at the time, so I cobbled this together.

I have basic coding knowledge but not enough to hold myself up on two legs, so I made this with the assistance of an LLM. I just needed this for my roleplay — please be gentle with me 🙏   I have now hired a furry in tech to improve and update this mod :)

Buy me a Ko-fi if you enjoyed the mod! (The furry will be compensated)
