Basic Chat
A lightweight, high-performance chat formatting mod for Fabric 1.21.x.
Basic Chat provides full control over your server's chat appearance using modern MiniMessage components. It is designed to be simple, dependency-friendly, and compatible with standard Fabric prefix/suffix providers.
Features
- MiniMessage Support: Use modern tags like <gradient>, <rainbow>, and <hover> in your chat configuration.
- Placeholder Integration: Full support for prefixes, suffixes, and usernames.
- Reloadable Config: Update your chat style on the fly with /basicchat reloadconfig—no restarts required.
- Lightweight: Minimal impact on server performance.
Default Layout
By default, the mod formats the chat using the following structure: [Prefix] [Username][Suffix] >> [Message]
Current default string: <prefix_optional> <username><suffix_optional> <dark_gray>>></dark_gray> <message>
Configuration
Settings are managed via config/basicchat.conf. You can use the following placeholders to build your layout:
| Placeholder | Description |
|---|---|
| <prefix_required> | A mandatory prefix. |
| <prefix_optional> | A prefix that disappears if empty (prevents trailing spaces). |
| <username> | The player's name in plain text. |
| <suffix_optional> | An optional suffix (defaults to empty). |
| <message> | The player's message (supports MiniMessage). |
Permissions
- basicchat.commands.basicchat - Access to the base command.
- basicchat.commands.reloadconfig - Allows reloading the config in-game.
