Web chat is a client only mod giving you access to the chat of the server you are in through a browser. Allowing you to chat with other players while having minecraft in the background. Great for things like semi-afk farming and similar things!

Usage

Requirements

  • Fabric API (required)
  • YACL (required)
  • Mod Menu (optional, needed for configuration)

Installation

  1. Install the mod from here.
  2. Start minecraft.
  3. Join a server.
  4. Go to localhost:8080 on the same computer, or use your computer's local IP address (like 192.168.1.x:8080) from other devices on your network.
  5. Start chatting.

Settings

Message settings

  • Ping on Username - This will ping the browser window any time a player's username appears in the chat.
  • Extra Ping keywords - This will ping the browser window any time one of these words appear in the chat.

Network settings

  • HTTP Port - Port number used to serve the web interface. 8080 by default.

Security & Privacy

This mod turns minecraft into a small web server on your computer that's only accessible (using localhost or your local IP) on your home network. This means that you can access Web Chat on a different device on your network, but not over the internet. No data is sent over the internet beyond your normal Minecraft traffic.

Important: This mod is designed for local use only. Do not expose the web chat port to the internet. If you need remote access, setup a VPN (such as Tailscale).
