Local Styled Chat

This is fork of StyledChat with local (range-limited) chat channel. Not addon!

It requires PlayerAbilityLib

It's a simple mod that allows server owners to change how their chat looks!

It adds support for modern chat formatting supported by Minecraft, but ignored by many chat mods/plugins.

It's also compatible with any mods using Placeholder API.

It also supports changing style per player with permissions (supports LuckPerms and PlayerRoles)

This mod works only on Fabric Mod Loader and compatible!

If you have any questions, you can ask them on my Discord

Also check out my other mods and project, as you might find them useful!

Commands (and permissions):

• /global - Switch to global channel
• /local - Switch to local channel
• /styledchat - Main command (styledchat.main, available by default)
• /styledchat reload - Reloads configuration and styles (requires styledchat.reload)

Configuration:

You can find config file in ./config/locale-styled-chat.json. Formatting uses Simplified Text Format. It supports usage of placeholders from Placeholder API. Additionally, every message type has few own local variables.

In chat formatting

If player has a required permissions (styledchat.format.[tag_name], where [tagname] is Text Parser tag), then they can use Text Parser's formatting tags from within their chat. It supports all default ones with addition of <item> tag.
