Algrim Chat

Algrim Chat is a chat styling fabric mod for clients.

About

The mod applies custom styling to server messages through use of "patterns". These patterns tell the mod which messages should be styled, and how to style them.

Dependencies

Dependencies are listed with each release.

Configuration

Config GUI can be opened with R,C, by default.

Patterns

Patterns consist of three components:

• Literal

  Literal pattern parts are the simplest. They match characters exactly (with a few exceptions).

  Example Patterns:

  Pattern	Message	Matches
  You leveled up!	"You leveled up!"	✅
  <Player6> Hello	"<Player6> Hello"	✅
  <Player6> Hello	"<Player6> Bye"	❌
  <Player6> Hello	"<Player2> Hello"	❌

  They're great for matching static messages that don't change, but not too useful on their own in terms of chat on a server where player names and message content change.
  
  Some special characters may also be mistaken as other pattern parts, avoid this by escaping them with \​

• Regex

  Regex pattern parts are denoted by a / at the beginning and end.

  Example Patterns:

  Pattern	Message	Matches	Note
  /You leveled up!/	"You leveled up!"	✅	While regex can match static messages, it's often simpler to use a Literal.
  /.*/	"<Player6> Hello"	✅	Will technically match all messages.
  </\\w+/> /.*/	"<Player6> Bye"	✅	Here we are using a combination of Literal "<" and "> ", and Regex parts.

• Style

  Style pattern parts apply style to messages (Finally!!!) and are split into two sections: [Style, Overrides] and (Content)
  
  

  • Style Overrides are a comma separated list of styles.
  • Content consists of Literal or Regex components.

  Example Patterns:

  Pattern	Message	Matches	Note
  [green](You leveled up!)	"You leveled up!"	✅	Styles the message green.
  <[#00FFFF](/\\w+/)> [white,i](/.*/)	"<Player6> Hello"	✅	Styles the player's name in aqua and their message white.

Style Overrides

The valid Style Overrides are:

	Override Name(s)
Bold	bold, b
Italics	italic, it, i
Underlined	underline, u
Strikethrough	strikethrough, s
ͅO͆b̼f̧u̺s̓c͠a̿t̝e̿d̮͒	obfuscate, o
Colour	#<hex>, <mc name>

Styles can be removed by prefixing ! to the Override Name. ! on its own will strip all styles.
ex: [!bold](/.*/) remove bold.
or: [!](/.*/) remove all styling.
