Client Chat Channels

A client-side mod that adds chat channels to the game.

Channels

🌍 Global

Works like vanilla chat - all players on the server can see your messages (unless otherwise configured by the server).

🔊 Local

Messages are only sent to players within a specified distance from you.

✉️ Direct

Messages are sent exclusively to one or more specific players.

👥 Team

Messages are only sent to your teammates.

How It Works

When using a channel other than global, the mod automatically converts your chat messages into private messages using the /‍msg or /‍teammsg command and sends them only to the intended recipients.

Commands

You can use commands to switch between different channels:

Command	Usage
/‍channel global	Switches to the global channel.
/‍channel local <radius>	Switches to the local channel. If the radius is omitted, the default radius will be used.
/‍channel direct <recipients>	Switches to the direct channel. If recipients are omitted, the nearest player will be selected. Recipients should be space-separated.
/‍channel team	Switches to the team channel.
/‍channel status	Displays information about the currently selected channel.

Hotkeys

You can also use hotkeys to quickly switch between channels:

Channel / Action	Default Hotkey
Global	U
Local	I
Direct	O
Team	K
Show status	Not bound

Configuration

• Channel indicators and the default range of the local channel can be customized using Cloth Config.
• Hotkeys can be configured in Minecraft's key binding options.
