About this Mod

Fixes voice messages not displaying in chat when Chat Animation [Smooth Chat] has removeMessageIndicator enabled. Without this fix, Voice Messages show only the player's name instead of the playback widget.

How it works: ChatAnimation nulls the GuiMessageTag on every chat line, which VoiceMessages relies on to identify and render voice messages. This mod intercepts GuiMessage.Line.tag() and preserves VoiceMessage tags, allowing the playback UI to render correctly.

Requirements:

Fabric API
VoiceMessages
Chat Animation [Smooth Chat]
