# AdvancedChat [ ![Discord](https://img.shields.io/discord/998162243852173402?style=flat&label=Discord&logo=discord&color=7289DA) ](https://discord.gg/Y9nC7Peq4m) A fabric mod that adds a bunch of useful multiplayer chat features to the game. ## Features ### Data-driven chat channels Allows you to add different channels that players can use to chat in (e.g. per-dimension, local, staff). These channels are completely customizable.\ By using [predicates](https://github.com/Patbox/PredicateAPI/blob/master/BUILTIN.md) you can control exactly which players receive a message.\ Next to that, you can also use [placeholders](https://placeholders.pb4.eu/user/default-placeholders/) to customize the prefix and actionbar text from the channel. ___ ### Player ignoring Allows players to ignore others. This will make it so that chat messages from ignored players aren't shown to them. Players also won't be able to send private messages to others that have ignored them, showing an error in chat. ___ ### Socialspy Since this mod adds new ways of private conversations, it also includes a socialspy for staff with different modes. These modes allow you to control which type of messages you want to 'spy' on, as all of them could be too much. ___ ### Text Filter Allows you to filter specific text received from the client, like chat messages, commands, signs and books. This is based on the vanilla realms filter, so it will also work with any other mods that use it. Note: unless styled-chat is installed, messages are filtered on the client. This is needed for validation.\ In this case, if a mod redirects chat messages to system messages they will NOT be filtered! ___ ### Mod support This mod has built-in added support for several other mods. For example, vanished players will be taken into account when sending messages and showing receivers. It adds a new placeholder that mods overriding chat like styled-chat can use: `%advancedchat:channelprefix%` ## Commands, Permissions and Configuration ### Commands - `/advancedchat save | reload` - Saves / Reloads the configuration file and all the chat channels. - `/chat ` - Lets you switch between chat channels that are available to you. - `/chat ` - Lets you send a message in the specified channel, without switching. - `/reply | /r ` - Sends a private message to the last player you messaged. - `/ignore | /unignore ` - Ignores / Unignores the specified player. - `/socialspy all | channel | private | none` - Lets you control which spy messages you want to receive. ### Permissions - `advancedchat.command.reload` - Permission to use the reload command. - `advancedchat.command.socialspy` - Permission to use the socialspy command. - `advancedchat.bypass.ignore` - Permission to bypass ignore. - Any permission added by the data-driven chat channels. ### Configuration The configuration file can be found at `/config/advancedchat.json` ```json5 { "comment": "Before changing anything, see https://github.com/Wesley1808/AdvancedChat#configuration", // Decides if channels should display action bars.
