Description

Basic Chat

A lightweight, high-performance chat formatting mod for Fabric 1.21.x.

Basic Chat provides full control over your server's chat appearance using modern MiniMessage components. It is designed to be simple, dependency-friendly, and compatible with standard Fabric prefix/suffix providers.

Features

  • MiniMessage Support: Use modern tags like , , and in your chat configuration.
  • Placeholder Integration: Full support for prefixes, suffixes, and usernames.
  • Reloadable Config: Update your chat style on the fly with /basicchat reloadconfig—no restarts required.
  • Lightweight: Minimal impact on server performance.

Default Layout

By default, the mod formats the chat using the following structure: [Prefix] [Username][Suffix] >> [Message]

Current default string: <prefix_optional> <suffix_optional> <dark_gray>>></dark_gray>

Configuration

Settings are managed via config/basicchat.conf. You can use the following placeholders to build your layout:

Placeholder Description
<prefix_required> A mandatory prefix.
<prefix_optional> A prefix that disappears if empty (prevents trailing spaces).
The player's name in plain text.
<suffix_optional> An optional suffix (defaults to empty).
The player's message (supports MiniMessage).

Permissions

  • basicchat.commands.basicchat - Access to the base command.
  • basicchat.commands.reloadconfig - Allows reloading the config in-game.

License and Sources

  • License: All Rights Reserved.
  • Source Code: Available on GitHub for transparency and issue reporting.
