ChatSphere

A modern instant-messaging chat mod for Minecraft 1.21.1 (NeoForge & Fabric) and 1.20.1 (Fabric). Replaces vanilla chat with channels, private messaging, emoji, voice rooms, and a full GUI.

Works on the client side — in singleplayer or on vanilla/plugin servers (with "Allow Vanilla Connection" enabled, then restart), it runs in local storage mode. On NeoForge or Fabric servers, install on both sides for channel sync, private messaging, and voice chat.

Features

  • Channel system: public/private, invite codes, sub-channels, explore
  • Private messaging, /msg and /tell
  • Custom emoji — local or server-shared, png/gif, animated
  • 349 built-in emoji with search and :shortcode: autocomplete
  • Voice rooms via Simple Voice Chat or PlasmoVoice
  • Command console with history inside the chat window
  • Message search, quote reply, right-click menu
  • Member management: admins, mute, kick, invites, ownership
  • Anti-spam duplicate merging
  • Settings GUI; in-game server config for ops
  • No Chat Reports compatible

Which voice chat mods are supported? Simple Voice Chat and PlasmoVoice. Both work simultaneously if installed.

How do I join a channel? Use the → button and enter an invite code, or browse public channels from the Explore screen (search icon next to →).

How do I create a channel? Click + next to the Channels header, or type #name in the input and press Enter.

Where is my data stored? Client data in ChatSphere/client/ per world/server. Server data in ChatSphere/server/.

Can I use this in a modpack? Yes.
