Chat Reworked overhauls Minecraft's basic chat system, bringing it closer to modern messaging platforms. It adds multiple new features including:
- A context menu for message manipulation featuring
- Replying
- Editing
- Deletion
- +Some others
- Basic Markdown
- Viewable Image Attachments
- A new emoji system with a dedicated picker
- Configurable player message format
- @ mentioning
- MORE!
However, despite all of the new additions the mod still aims to stay true to Minecraft's simple nature - with a lot of the features being configurable.
How to
Open the context menu on a message
Right click the message in chat and a menu will come up beside where you clicked.
Add images
Just drag and drop a png/jpeg file onto the Minecraft window when the chat typing screen is open.
Apply Markdown
*text* - Italics
**text** - Bold
***text*** - Italics and bold
__text__ - Underline
~~text~~ - Strikethrough
Browse and select emojis
Open the small emoji icon at the end of the chat screen typing area (or press CTRL+E) and then search for emojis at the top and select one by clicking it. You can also use emoji shortcodes to quickly add any supported emoji by typing :name_of_the_emoji:.
Configuration
The Chat Reworked config system uses JSON5 files that can be found in <minecraft instance>/config/chatreworked-common.json5 / chatreworked-client.json5.
Many aspects of the mod can be changed through the config files. If you are hosting a large server with this mod it is recommended that you adjust the image configuration in the common config file to limit server RAM used on player image storage.

However it might not work with some other mods that modify chat's rendering.
