The main focus of this mod is to add tabs to chat and provide an API for adding messages to them. Additionally, it parses the chat for channels and PMs, then separates them to different tabs.

This requires LiteLoader, but should also be compatible with Forge.

This mod also requires MnmUtils to be installed (pre-1.12). If you are using Forge, build 2020 or later is required.

To install, just place both tabbychat and mnmutils litemods in the mods folder.

Features

Quickstart

Upon opening chat, you will see the chat has changed dramatically. Tabs will be on the top of the chat and the text box will be on the bottom of it. Dragging the tab area will move the chat box. Right-clicking on a tab will open it's settings. Using the default (*) tab will open the settings. Closing a tab can be done by shift clicking or middle clicking.
