YTChat is a lightweight, client-side Fabric mod that displays live YouTube stream chat directly on your Minecraft screen as a small, Twitch-style HUD overlay. It scrapes the public YouTube live chat endpoint (no YouTube Data API required) and updates in near real time, showing colored usernames, wrapped messages, and a fixed on-screen chat box that never interrupts gameplay.
The mod is completely safe for servers, requires no server-side installation, and works on any Fabric client. You can configure the stream URL in-game, and optionally integrate with Mod Menu for easy access to settings. Perfect for streamers, viewers, and anyone who wants live YouTube chat inside Minecraft.
