Description
**Chat Reworked overhauls Minecraft's basic chat system, bringing it closer to modern messaging platforms.**
It adds multiple new features including:
- A context menu for message manipulation featuring
- Replying
- Editing
- Deletion
- +Some others
- Basic Markdown
- Viewable Image Attachments
- A new emoji system with a dedicated picker
- Configurable player message format
- @ mentioning
- Clickable links in chat
- MORE!
However, despite all of the new additions the mod still aims to stay true to Minecraft's simple nature - with a lot of the features being configurable.
## Dependencies
### This mod requires [Balm](https://modrinth.com/mod/balm)!
## How to
### Open the context menu on a message
Right click the message in chat and a menu will come up beside where you clicked.
### Add images
Just drag and drop a PNG/JPEG file onto the Minecraft window when the chat typing screen is open.
### Apply Markdown
`*text*` - _Italics_
`**text**` - **Bold**
`***text***` - _**Italics and bold**_
`__text__` - Underline
`~~text~~` - ~~Strikethrough~~
### Browse and select emojis
Open the small emoji icon at the end of the chat screen typing area (or press CTRL+E) and then search for emojis at the top and select one by clicking it. You can also use emoji shortcodes to quickly add any supported emoji by typing `:name_of_the_emoji:`.
## Configuration
The Chat Reworked config system uses JSON5 files that can be found in `/config/chatreworked-common.json5` / `chatreworked-client.json5`.
Many aspects of the mod can be changed through the config files. If you are hosting a large server with this mod it is recommended that you adjust the image configuration in the common config file to limit server RAM used on player image storage.
## Compatibility
This mod currently has explicitly added compatibility to work with:
- [Chat Heads](https://modrinth.com/mod/chat-heads)
However it might not work with some other mods that modify chat's rendering.
