NexusChat 1.0

Multi-platform stream chat inside Minecraft.
Twitch + Kick + YouTube + TikTok unified into an animated overlay, with emotes from
7TV (including zero-width), BTTV, FFZ, native Twitch emotes, and Twemoji.

Features

Simultaneous multi-platform support

• Twitch — Anonymous IRC or OAuth, with badges, subs, rewards, and bits.
• Kick — Pusher WebSocket connection, no authentication required.
• YouTube Live — Anonymous InnerTube support, Super Chats, and member subscriptions.
• TikTok Live — Real-time event tracking including comments, new followers, and subscriptions.

All at the same time, in a single HUD.

Real animated emotes

• 7TV global + channel emotes, including zero-width overlays (RainTime, overlays on top of other emotes).
• BTTV + FFZ support on Twitch.
• Native Twitch emotes.
• Unicode emojis → Twemoji.
• Locally decoded static WebP images (no proxy required).
• Custom GIF decoder with proper disposal method support, packed into a 2D atlas: 1 GL texture per animated emote, automatically split if it exceeds GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE.
• Disk cache with a 7-day TTL — instant startup after the first session.

Polished overlay

• Display modes: FULL · COMPACT · MINIMAL.
• Themes: DEFAULT · DARK_GLASS · PREMIUM_GLASS · QSMP · MINIMAL_WHITE · CUSTOM.
• Animations: configurable fade-out lifetime and horizontal slide-in.
• Duplicate collapsing (x3, x7, ...).
• Avatars + platform icons + official platform badges.
• Adaptive username contrast.
• Swappable layout profiles.

Interaction

• Highlighted mentions with optional sound.
• Follower, Subscription and Donation notifications.
• Word and user blocklist.
• Highlighted users (specialUsers) and alert tracking (wantedUsers).
• Keybinds to hide/show, clear chat, and cycle display modes.
• Right-click on any username → mod action menu (timeout 60s/10m/1h, ban, VIP, mod) — Twitch only.
• Live Twitch polls & predictions rendered as a bar over the HUD, with its own position, width and scale — independent of the chat overlay.
• "Widgets" panel: a single screen to toggle and reposition Chat, Poll and Music at once.
• Music "now playing" widget (Windows only): shows what you're listening to — Spotify desktop app, YouTube in any browser, or YouTube Music — with cover art, title, artist(s) and a progress bar, no accounts or API keys required. Two styles (compact bar / expanded card), configurable size and color theme (several presets, plus an automatic black & white fallback if the configured colors ever lack contrast). Optional Spotify account login (your own app, OAuth) for the full artist list and higher-quality artwork.
• In-game bug reporting: a report screen (and a /nexuschat report command) sends your message, diagnostics and the full mod log straight to the author's Discord.

Commands

• /conectar twitch|youtube|kick|tiktok
• /nexuschat — opens the graphical config menu
• /nexuschat export [n] — saves the last N messages to run/nexuschat/transcripts/
• /nexuschat report <message> — sends a bug report (message + mod/MC/Fabric/OS info + connected platforms + full mod log) straight to the author's Discord
• /nexuschat poll dismiss — hides the currently visible Twitch poll/prediction from the overlay

Performance & usability

• Rendering with zero allocations per frame (reused buffers).
• 500-texture LRU cache with actual GL cleanup on eviction.
• Hot-reload for config.json — edit the file while the game is running and changes apply automatically.
• 100% client-side, no telemetry, no dedicated server required.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.1.2 or 26.2 (26.2 = 1.21.11) — builds are published for both
• Fabric Loader 0.18.2+
• Fabric API version-dependent — see Modrinth for the exact matrix
• Java 21
• Windows is required for the music "now playing" widget (it reads Windows' System Media Transport Controls); every other feature works on any platform Fabric supports.

Quick Installation

1. Install Fabric Loader + Fabric API.
2. Place nexuschat-<version>.jar in your mods/ folder.
3. Launch Minecraft and join a world.
4. Use /conectar <platform> or press the config key (default N) to link your channels.
5. Press M to show/hide the overlay.

Privacy

NexusChat only connects to the official APIs of each platform:

• twitch.tv
• 7tv.io
• betterttv.net
• frankerfacez.com
• kick.com
• youtube.com
• tiktok.com

It also uses wsrv.nl as an image proxy only as a fallback.

Two features make outbound connections beyond the streaming platforms, both opt-in or explicitly user-triggered:

• Bug reports (/nexuschat report or the report button): sends your message, basic diagnostics and the mod's log file to a Discord webhook, only when you choose to send one.
• Spotify integration (optional, off by default): if you connect your own Spotify account, the mod talks to accounts.spotify.com and api.spotify.com to read what's currently playing. A small local server on 127.0.0.1 handles the OAuth redirect — it never listens on any external network interface.

There is no dedicated server and no telemetry.
