About this Mod
RPChat
RPChat is a fairly simple mod that adds in a handful of commands useful for roleplay servers:
- /localchat : Send a message in local chat. Only players within 30 blocks of you can see this message.
- /globalchat : Sends a normal chat message.
- /shout : Sends a message in shout chat. Players within 80 blocks of you can see this message. Message appears bolded.
- /whisper : Sends a message in whisper chat. Only players within 5 blocks of you can see this message. Message appears gray and italicized.
- /ooc : Sends a message in out of character chat. Message appears gold.
- /chatmode : Allows you to change what chat you type in by default. Options are global, local, shout, whisper, and ooc.
Configuration
Commands can be enabled / disabled in the config. Text formatting for each mode can additionally be enabled / disabled, and all ranges are configurable. Additionally, /chatmode can be toggled to be only for ops.
Installation
Requires Fabric Api. Only needs to be installed on the server.
Compatibility
This breaks chat reporting! Mods like No Chat Reports should still function, but if no such mods exist most messages will not be reportable.
May or may not break discord chat mods, AdvancedChat should work fine (both untested)
FAQ
- Forge? Maybe later, don't ask.
- Backport? No.
- Update? Maybe.

RPChat 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 (1.19.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is RPChat compatible with fabric?
RPChat officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.19.2. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with RPChat – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if RPChat 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.
