Callout

What It Is

Callout is a client-side Fabric mod for Minecraft that helps you never miss important chat messages, nickname mentions, or custom keywords while playing or AFK.

It is useful when:

• you are AFK or focused on another window;
• fast-scrolling server chat makes important messages easy to miss;
• you need immediate audio alerts for staff callouts, personal mentions, or specific server events;
• you want to review recent ping history and see what happened in chat before and after the mention.

What It Adds

Callout extends the standard Minecraft chat with:

• configurable sound alerts for your nickname and custom keywords;
• support for regular expressions for advanced chat matching;
• separate volume and pitch settings for each trigger;
• a dedicated mention history screen with highlighted ping messages;
• saved chat context around every detected mention;
• persistent history that survives world exits and game restarts.

Features

The mod includes:

• nickname-based mention detection;
• up to 5 additional custom triggers;
• Text and Regex trigger modes;
• case-sensitive or case-insensitive matching;
• optional alerts for your own chat messages;
• automatic cleanup of service artifacts and third-party chat tags;
• filtering for technical sender prefixes in singleplayer and LAN;
• 5 messages of context before and 5 messages after each ping;
• mouse wheel navigation and pagination in the history screen;
• persistent storage in config/callout_history.json;
• Mod Menu integration for easier configuration.
