This mod allows you to view all chat messages your client receives as the raw JSON.
It's useful for debugging complex chat components or looking behind the scenes on "click to run" chat messages on other servers.
The JSON is shown in a popup window with syntax formatting, and it can be copied to the clipboard directly.
