TabbyChat 2 Reforged
This mod is no longer being maintained. I recommend using NeoFontRender-UIEnhancements instead—it includes all the features of this mod and looks better.
This mod is the 1.12.2 unofficial Forge branch of TabbyChat 2.
TabbyChat 2 is a client-side module that organises chat messages into separate channel columns, designed to make the multiplayer chat interface more organised, manageable and easy to use.
Features
- Overhauled chat box
- Filters to manually redirect or hide chat messages
- Movable and resizable chat box
- Message timestamps
- Spam prevention
- Spell checking
Quickstart
Upon opening chat, you will see the chat has changed dramatically. Tabs will be on the top of the chat and the text box will be on the bottom of it. Dragging the tab area will move the chat box. Right-clicking on a tab will open it's settings. Using the default (*) tab will open the settings. Closing a tab can be done by shift clicking or middle clicking.
