Chat Images 
A Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21.11 that lets you send and view images directly in the chat.
Note: This mod is still rough around the edges — minor bugs may occur.
Features

- Fullscreen viewer — click any image in chat to open it fullscreen with zoom, pan, and drag support
- Server-client detection — the mod automatically detects whether the server supports Chat Images and disables the button if not
