Chat Spellcheck

Offline chat spellchecking with multilingual dictionaries, ranked suggestions, and optional autocorrect.

๐Ÿ’– Chat Spellcheck ๐Ÿ’–

A little spellchecker for Minecraft's chat box โ™ก

Typos get a red squiggle as you type. Hover one and click to fix it, no retyping needed!

Typing in chat, typos get underlined, then hovering one shows suggestions

Client-side only ยท works on any server, even vanilla ยท fully offline

๐Ÿ’• Features

  • Underlines as you type. Misspelled words get a red squiggle. Nothing else about the chat box changes.
  • Click to fix. Hover a word to see suggestions, then click one. Only that word changes, and your cursor stays where it was.
  • Keyboard shortcut. Press Ctrl+. (Cmd+. on Mac) for suggestions at your cursor. โ†‘/โ†“ to pick, Enter to apply, Esc to close.
  • Ignore or add words. Ignore hides a word until you close the game. Add to dictionary saves it for good.
  • 14 dictionaries. Turn on as many as you like: English (US, UK, Canada, Australia), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Swiss German, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmรฅl), Spanish, Hebrew and Arabic.
  • Knows Minecraft. Item, block and mob names (modded ones too), online players' names, and chat slang like gg, afk and brb are never flagged.
  • Optional autocorrect. Off by default. When it's on, only typos it's very sure about get fixed, and Backspace undoes it.
  • Hebrew and Arabic show in the right reading order while you type.

Misspelled words underlined in the chat box while the link is left alone

๐ŸŒธ Install

  1. Install Fabric Loader 0.19.5 or newer.
  2. Put Chat Spellcheck and Fabric API in your mods folder.
  3. Pick the file for your version: the 26.3 file for Minecraft 26.3, the 26.2 file for Minecraft 26.2.
  4. Open chat and start typing!

Type /spellcheck to choose languages and settings, or open them from Mod Menu if you have it.

๐Ÿ’ญ Good to know

  • It checks spelling, not grammar, so "their" vs "there" won't be caught.
  • It only works in the chat box, not on signs, books or anvils.
  • Autocorrect does the most in English. Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Norwegian get missing-accent fixes, and Hebrew gets final-letter and clear one-letter fixes. Swiss German, Danish and Arabic only show suggestions.
