Better Friend Chat is an addon for the NoRisk Client (NRC) that transforms the default Friends Chat and Direct Message system into a modern, feature-rich messenger with enhanced messaging, formatting, reactions, media sharing, and social features.
Share images and animated GIFs directly with your friends, customize your messages with colorful text and different formatting styles, and make your conversations more interactive with emojis, 7TV emotes, reactions, and quoted replies. With a redesigned chat interface, server invites, screenshot sharing, and advanced mute options, Better Friend Chat makes communicating with your friends more personal, convenient, and enjoyable.
