Description

PinChat

Build Status License Minecraft Fabric Forge

A Minecraft mod that enhances chat functionality with message pinning, grouping, and a moveable chat screen. Works on both Fabric and Forge mod loaders!

✨ Features

📌 Pin Chat Messages

  • Right-click on any chat message to pin/unpin it
  • Pinned messages are displayed persistently on your HUD
  • Create multiple message groups to organize your pinned messages
  • Drag and drop groups anywhere on your screen
  • Configurable maximum number of pinned messages
  • Adjustable text width for pinned messages

📂 Message Groups

  • Organize pinned messages into separate groups
  • Each group can be positioned independently on the screen
  • Collapse/expand groups with a single click
  • Create new groups on the fly when pinning a message
  • Rename groups to keep things organized

🎮 Moveable Chat Screen

  • Open a special chat mode where you can move while typing (default: U)
  • Look around freely with your mouse while the chat is open
  • Smooth movement transitions — no abrupt stops when opening/closing chat
  • Configurable mouse sensitivity for chat mode

⚙️ Flexible Configuration

PinChat works standalone, but also integrates with popular configuration mods for enhanced settings experience:

Mod Integration
Cloth Config ✅ Full GUI integration
YACL ✅ Full GUI integration

All dependencies are optional! The mod works perfectly without any of them.
