Client Chat Channels

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:

• /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:

• 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.
