No Chat Restrictions
Restores access to game chat for all accounts
About this Mod
This mod is dedicated to the removal of restrictions around the use of multiplayer features, in particular the in-game chat. It unblocks chat and other features that may otherwise be impossible to use with your Minecraft account.
As of 1.16.4, along with the introduction of Social Interactions screen, vanilla Minecraft client may now prevent access to multiplayer menu or in-game chat based on Minecraft account flags, which are controlled by Mojang/Microsoft and may be enabled or disabled for any reason. This mod simply reverts that change, letting all multiplayer features be accessed exactly like they could be in 1.16.3 and prior.
These restrictions are enforced only on the client side, and as such this mod needs to be installed only on the client in order for it to work (though this might change in future Minecraft versions).
No Chat Restrictions now covers 100% of all Minecraft versions affected by multiplayer restrictions. No matter which Minecraft version you play, there is a mod version compatible with it.

Does No Chat Restrictions need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks No Chat Restrictions as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.
Which version and loader does No Chat Restrictions require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
No Chat Restrictions is not working – what should I check?
First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
