About this project
What does Group Chat add?
Group Chat
Note: This mod is also available as a plugin for paper on modrinth.
Whisper to your whole crew at once — without everyone else on the server reading along.
Group Chat adds persistent chat groups to your server. Create a group, invite your friends, and message everyone in it with a single command — no more /msg-ing the same three people one at a time, and no more accidentally leaking a private conversation into public chat. Message someone (or a whole group) while they're offline, and they'll get it the moment they log back in.
Available for both Paper and Fabric — same features, same commands, same data format, whichever loader your server runs.

Features
- Group chat — message every member of a group at once with
/gmsg(or the shorter/gm) - Offline mailbox — messages to offline players or offline group members are held and delivered on next join, with an unread count so nothing gets missed
- Guaranteed delivery option —
/gmofflinedrops a copy into every member's mailbox, online or not, for anything you want to be sure isn't lost in chat scrollback - Direct messages —
/dmfor one-on-one, queued automatically if the recipient's offline - Full group management — create, invite, accept/decline, leave, and owner-only kick
- Graphical menu —
/groupguiopens a point-and-click interface for creating groups, browsing your groups, inviting or kicking members, and picking who to message, if you'd rather not remember command syntax - Tab-completion everywhere — group names, player names, and pending invites all autocomplete
- Zero external dependencies — just the plugin/mod, no other downloads required beyond Fabric API on the Fabric side
