Overview

Tired of missing messages because you're focused on the game instead of the tiny chat box? This mod adds clean chat bubbles right over players' heads. Perfect for SMPs or just hanging out with friends.

Features

  • Typing Indicator: Shows a ". . ." bubble over your head while you type so people know you aren't just AFK.
  • Vanilla Look: Simple, clean text bubbles designed to match the native Minecraft UI style.
  • No FOV Distortion: Bubbles won't stretch out or warp, even if you play on Quake Pro.
  • 100% Client-Side: Works on any server without needing the mod installed on the backend. It reads your local chat HUD automatically.
  • Smart First-Person Hiding: Bubbles stay invisible in first-person so they don't block your view, but show up perfectly when you switch to F5.
