Chat Tools is a customizable client-side mod for managing, searching, formatting, and responding to Minecraft chat, with rules that can be tailored to different servers. It can add timestamps, restore messages from previous sessions, hide your nickname from your own view, and retain a configurable amount of chat history that you can search. A built-in translator can be started from the chat bar, while notifications can use toast pop-ups, custom sounds, action-bar alerts, and highlighted message prefixes, with allow and ban lists to control which messages match. Message-formatting patterns can add styles or personalized suffixes and replace placeholders such as {pos} with your current coordinates; formatting can also be disabled for matching text such as commands or item counts. Hotkeys can repeat the last command or run assigned commands, and configurable chat bubbles display messages above players with server-specific rules. Optional automatic responses and chat filtering use configurable rules to respond to or filter incoming messages.
Written from Modrinth and the GitHub README . How we write it
Changes the game's code in 4 areas: User interfaceChanges 7 game code files in this area: menus, screens, tooltips, the chat window and the in-game overlay., Networking and multiplayerChanges 4 game code files in this area: connections, the server list and what is sent between your game and a server., Rendering and graphicsChanges 3 game code files in this area: drawing mobs, items, particles and textures on screen. and Game coreChanges 1 game code file in this area: the main loop, lighting and other code the whole game uses..
Adds 363 key bindings.
Counted from the names and data files in the mod, so the list may not be complete.
Keeps all of vanilla Minecraft's textures, models and sounds.
No harmful code found
We checked its files and read their code, without running it.
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.

Sent to api-edge.cognitive.microsofttranslator.com and fanyi-api.baidu.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.
No sign that AI was used to make it
We looked for AI tools in its texts, files, images and code history and found none.
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.
Point at or tap a version to see its loaders.
