📋 Overview

Chat Tools is a highly customizable Minecraft client mod that supports various features, allowing them to interoperate through commands and more.

📖 Glossary and Technical Details

  • Session Identifier (Chat Tools-specific term) is a string that, in single-player mode, corresponds to the current save name, and in multiplayer mode, corresponds to the server address. Related Regular Expressions use the matches() method for matching.
  • Pattern (General term) refers to the Regular Expression pattern. Chat Tools uses the MULTILINE mode for Regular Expressions and matches them using the find() method.
  • Chat Tools maintains multi versions by using macro replacement. The same version of Chat Tools may exhibit slight differences between Minecraft versions.
  • When processing player messages, Chat Tools removes color codes (§.).
  • By enabling Advanced Tooltips (F3+H), you can hover over configuration items on the configuration page to view their keys, default values, and other details.

  • /chattools on - Enable the mod.
  • /chattools off - Disable the mod.
