Why does this exist?
If you are building a forge modded server on MC1.20.1 there unfortunately are no decent mods available due to SpongeForge not supporting MC1.20.1 - this mod only supports MC1.20.1 forge servers for this very reason.
To date this is the most feature-rich chat mod for Forge 1.20.1 blowing all others out of the water
