🗨️ AnonChat Mod

Advanced chat customization for Minecraft 1.21.1 – 1.21.5, 26.1.2 & 26.2

Take full control of your chat experience. Organize messages into separate windows, filter out noise, highlight player mentions, save chat history, and switch between complete configuration profiles — all without leaving the game.

✨ Features

📑 Multi-Window Chat

• Create unlimited chat windows — drag, resize, position anywhere on screen
• Each window holds multiple tabs for organizing different chat topics
• Independent font settings per tab (size, spacing, alignment, shadow)
• Smart edge snapping — windows snap to screen edges when dragged close

🔍 Advanced Filters

Define include and exclude tags for each tab to route messages exactly where you want them:

• Include tags — only messages containing these words appear in this tab
• Exclude tags — messages with these words are blocked from this tab
• Filters work with LabyMod's JSON format — you can migrate your existing filter setup
• Optional: play a sound, change background color, or highlight on match

🔔 Player Mention (Ping)

• Automatically highlights your username in chat messages when someone mentions you
• Choose your highlight color and notification sound (6 sounds to pick from)
• Your own messages never trigger a ping — only others mentioning you

💾 Configuration Profiles

• Save your entire setup (windows, tabs, filters, macros, font settings) as named profiles
• Switch between profiles instantly — great for different servers or playstyles
• Export/import by copying profile files from profiles/ folder
• "default" profile is always available and protected from deletion

⌨️ Autotext (Macros)

• Assign keyboard shortcuts to send messages or execute commands
• Perfect for frequently used commands or chat responses

📝 Chat Log

• Automatically saves all chat messages to daily text files
• Located in the chatlog/ folder next to your config
• Enable/disable toggle in Settings

🌐 Internationalization

• Full English and Polish language support
• Language auto-detects from your Minecraft game settings

🛠 Companion Tool: Filter Editor

The AnonChat Filter Editor is a standalone Windows app that lets you manage your filter tags outside the game.

The problem it solves: Minecraft's in-game text field strips the § color code, so you can't type precise tags like Money§8. The editor writes the JSON directly with literal §, so color-precise tags work.

What it does:

• Browse your profiles from %APPDATA%/AnonChatMC/profiles/ (the main chat.json is protected)
• Load daily chat logs or raw Minecraft logs (latest.log) and see unique messages with occurrence counters
• Add any log message as a tag to a filter with one click
• Bilingual UI (English/Polish) — language auto-detected and remembered

➡️ Download the latest version: GitHub Releases → download AnonChatFilterEditor-0.2.4.exe (no Python required)
