This mod allows you to highlight the words, phrases, or whole sentences you need among the whole chat. This helps to sift out other players' garbage messages if you are looking for something specific and don't want to miss it.
The mod has a handy in-game config:
The “color” property contains the values of all vanilla colors.
The “lines” property contains all tracked strings (they will be highlighted). You can add as many of them as you need.
The “regex” property allows you to enable regular expressions check for your lines (recommended for advanced user only).
The “sound” property contains the name of the sound that will be played when the string you are looking for appears in the chat.
The “style” category contains five text formatting properties: bold, italic, obfuscated (the characters are constantly changing), striketrough and underlined.
This mod requires ASJCore to run.
