FriendChat 1.2.0

Release log · Minecraft 1.21.11 · Fabric

Fixes

• Messages from other tabs are now really hidden, and no longer come back after a window resize.
• Going back to a tab shows its full history again, instead of only the new messages.
• Tabs now filter correctly on servers that send player chat as system messages.
• Tabs no longer cover the last line of the chat.
• The MP tab is always visible, even without an active conversation.

New features

• History: all messages are kept in memory (historySize, 300 by default), including hidden ones.
• Tabs:
  • General shows everything.
  • Friends shows only messages from your friends, plus system messages that mention a friend.
  • MP shows only your private conversation with the target player.
• Private messages: what you type in the MP tab is sent as /<servermsg> <player> <message>, and servermsg is configurable (msg, tell, w...).
• Player messages: any message starting with <x>, even one sent by the server, is treated as a player message. If x contains a rank or symbols (<[VIP] Steve>), only the username is kept.
• Configurable detection: the chatPatterns, mpPatterns and alwaysShowPatterns regexes can be edited in friendchat_config.json.
• Commands:
  • /chatfriend list
  • /chatmp close
  • /friendchatconfig without arguments shows the config.
• New options:
  • mppublic: the MP tab also shows the target's public messages.
  • systemmessages: system messages are shown in all tabs.
• Command feedback stays visible in all tabs.
• Friends and blocks are no longer case-sensitive.

Changes

• A "strict" username (1 to 16 characters) is no longer required inside <x>. The old default pattern is replaced automatically in your config.
• System messages no longer appear in all tabs by default, only in General. The old alwaysShowSystemMessages option is replaced by systemmessages.
• The buffer is cleared on disconnect, so servers no longer get mixed up.
• If the mod fails on a message, the message is still displayed in vanilla mode.

Good to know

• Messages replayed when switching tabs stay displayed for about 10 seconds after you close the chat.
• History is not saved: it disappears on disconnect.
• Renaming a command still requires a restart.
