Description from the author on Modrinth

Hear when another player mentions you

Chat Ping plays a short notification sound and shows a brief message above your hotbar when another player mentions your full Minecraft account name. Your name is detected automatically.

Features

  • Exact username matching, ignoring capitalization. Partial names and longer usernames do not trigger a ping.
  • Ignores your own messages and common server notifications, including match results and kill messages.
  • Recognizes standard player chat and common server-formatted chat. Server-formatted messages require a recognized sender in the client player list.
  • Uses Master Volume, so muting UI sounds does not mute Chat Ping. Muting Master Volume still silences it.
  • One-second cooldown prevents rapid duplicate pings.
  • Enable or disable the mod through Mod Menu → Chat Ping → Configure.
  • No external API requests, chat uploads or telemetry.

Installation

Install Fabric Loader, Fabric API and the Chat Ping build matching your Minecraft version. Mod Menu provides the settings screen. The server does not need the mod.

Chat compatibility

The mod matches your account username, not a custom nickname. Action-bar messages and unknown chat formats are ignored. Servers that hide senders from the player list or use unusual chat layouts may not trigger a notification.
