Chat Filters
A simple mod that filters chat messages based on a list of regular expressions.
It works by not allowing the message to appear if it matches a pattern specified in the configuration (blacklist) or if it doesn't match a pattern (whitelist).
Note: it won't remove any matching messages prior to adding a filter, nor bring back the ones already filtered even if you turn it off. It acts as if the messages never came through.
What are its features?
- Client-Side Chat Filtering.
- Use either a whitelist or a blacklist for chat messages.
Future plans?
- I'd like to remake pattern matching to use a more standardized system that supports flags input and doesn't require the user to match the whole string.
Examples
Because Java's built-in pattern system differs in syntax to for example JavaScript, here are some example filter patterns:
^\[SERVER\].*- every message starting with [SERVER]^<.*>.*- every player-sent chat message (on a non-modified minecraft server), eg.<Player1> Hello!.*aould.*- every message containing the word "aould"
Do I need anything else?
