About this Mod

GroupChat

by FireNH

A mod to add server-side group chats to Minecraft to allow for private messaging.

This mod adds a new command: /group. The /group command allows players to manage private group chats through the in-game chat. A group can be created using /group create <groupname> with an option to also add a password on the end. Other players can join this group using /group join <groupname> [password] (or the password can be omitted if the group doesn't have a password). Players can use /group message <groupname> <message> to message all of the online players in that group. In addition, players can also use an alias command /g <groupname> <message> for short. Players can see the members in that group and the password with /group players <groupname>. Players can also quickly invite others to a group using /group invite <groupname> <players> which sends a chat message with an autocomplete to join the group, along with the password if it is a password locked group. Finally, players can leave a group with /group leave <groupname>. If there is ever a point where there are no players in a group, that group is deleted, and another new group can be created with that same name.

Groups, along with their player lists and passwords, are stored in ./config/groups.json. If you ever need to manually edit a group, you can do so there.

This mod is server-side, meaning it can be installed on a server without requiring clients to also install it. However, clients can use it in Singleplayer worlds as well, even if there's really no point.

Frequently Asked Questions

GroupChat server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.18.1). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is GroupChat compatible with fabric?

GroupChat officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.18.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with GroupChat – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if GroupChat consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
