About this project

What does Chat Reworked add?

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!

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_ _ (but without the spaces) - Underline

CurseForge replaces it with HTML code if I remove the spaces :(

~~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 <minecraft instance>/config/chatreworked-common.json5 / chatreworked-client.json5.

You can also edit the configs in-game, but you must install Cloth Config API!

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:

However it might not work with some other mods that modify chat's rendering.

The mod should be installed on both the client and the server.

You can report any problems you encounter with the mod in my Discord server's chat-reworked-support channel. You can join here.
