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.
