What does Private Chat add?

📬 Private Chat

Private Chat adds private direct messages (DMs) to Minecraft multiplayer servers with a clean UI and instant notifications.

When another player messages you, you receive an in-game pop-up notification with sound, so you never miss a message while playing.

You can open the private chat menu using the Y key (fully configurable), select a player from the online list, and start chatting privately.
Unread messages are clearly marked with a green dot, and you can instantly reply using the R key.

The mod also includes Do Not Disturb (DND) mode and player muting, giving you full control over your private conversations.


✨ Features

  • Private 1-to-1 direct messages
  • In-game message notifications with sound
  • Open private chat menu with Y (configurable keybind)
  • Quick reply using the R key (configurable keybind)
  • Do Not Disturb (DND) mode
  • Mute / unmute specific players
  • Unread message indicator (green dot)

🕹 How It Works

  2. Press R to quick-reply, or press Y to open the private chat menu.
