    About

    Chat Overhaul replaces Minecraft’s basic text chat with a multimedia chat system inspired by messaging apps, supporting image sharing up to 4096×4096 pixels and file sharing up to 500 MB. Players can record and send voice messages, make voice calls, mute their microphone or audio, and share their screen with the person they are talking to, though screen sharing is described as experimental and low quality. The mod also supports StreamLabs integrations, including real-time chat messages for incoming donations, and provides APIs for creating custom renderable chat messages.

    No harmful code found

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.

    We checked its files and read their code, without running it.

    What it can do on your computer

    Records from your microphone
    It can record sound from a microphone. Voice chat mods do this.
    Connects to the internet
    It has code that can go online, for example to check for updates, load skins or send crash reports. It contacts 1 web address. See Privacy

    Why we show this: a mod runs on your computer like any program, so harmful code in it can take your accounts or files. Our checks look for known signs of harm. They cannot prove that a file is harmless. In the grade: malware means no grade, and a Warning in a latest file for a recent Minecraft version lowers it.

    How we checked · The latest file checked, last on 16 Oct 2026
    • FilesWe download the files from Modrinth or CurseForge and look at what is inside them and what their code can do, without running them. Fixed rules tell what is harmful.
      1 latest file. It is not for a recent Minecraft version, so the answer above is about it. Recent versions: those released in the last 2 years, plus 1.20.1 and 1.21.1, among the most played in modpacks. See each file in Releases
    • Their codeWe turn the code of the files back into readable code and follow what it does, without running it. This shows what it downloads, what it sends and where your login goes.
      Read without running it
    • Records from your microphone
      Records with the sound tools built into Java.
    • Looked for, not foundWe looked for these in the file and did not find them.
      Folders outside the game, other programs, updating itself, an AI service.

    Sends unknown data

    It has no file for a recent Minecraft version. This is about its files for Minecraft 1.12.2.

    Sent to www.datafilehost.com.

    We found this in its code, read without running it.

    Why we show this: a mod can send things about you over the internet, like your player name or your login. Contacting an address to check for updates or download files sends nothing about you. Not in the grade: sending data can be normal for what a mod does.

    How we checked · Its one file read

    AI

    No sign so far that AI was used to make it

    We looked for AI tools in its description, files, images and sounds and found none.

    We have not read its changelogs yet.

    No sign of AI in the game

    We found no AI service, AI library or AI model file in its code.

    Why we show this: some players and servers avoid projects made with AI, and AI in the game can send what you write to an online service. Not in the grade: using AI does not tell whether a project works well or is kept up to date.
