SwearFilter

A lightweight, client-side chat filter for Minecraft. It censors inappropriate words in incoming chat, replacing each one with # of the same length (e.g. damn → ####). No server installation needed — it only affects what you see.

Features

• Automatic censoring of player chat and system/server messages
• Whole-word, case-insensitive matching — hello and class are never touched
• Two word lists, both filtered:
  • Banned Words — your own custom words
  • Defaults — a built-in starter list of common profanity & slurs (in a dropdown)
• In-game settings via Mod Menu (Cloth Config): toggle filtering, add/remove words, reset to defaults
• Compatible with other chat mods — preserves message formatting and markers (e.g. Chat Heads) instead of flattening them
• Settings saved to config/swearfilter.json

How to use

1. Install the requirements below, then drop SwearFilter into your mods folder.
2. In-game: Mods → SwearFilter → Configure.
3. Add your own words under Banned Words, or expand Defaults to tweak the built-in list.
4. Type a filtered word in chat — it comes back as ####.

Requirements

• Minecraft 26.1.2 (Fabric)
• Fabric API
• Cloth Config
• Mod Menu (optional — needed to open the settings screen)

Notes

• Client-side only: safe on any server, and other players don't need it.
• Censoring changes the displayed text only; it does not block or report messages.
