About this Mod

Simple IRC

Simple IRC is a Fabric mod that allows you to connect to an IRC server in Minecraft. With it, you can fully interface with an IRC server (except for, with huge pain, services).

Usage

  • You can interact with an IRC server using game commands (use /simpleirc help for a list of commands).
  • You can save IRC connection info through the config system using the "modmenu" mod.
  • You can toggle your IRC connection with a keybind (default: "K").
  • For automatic channel joining, add this to Post-Connection commands: JOIN <channel> [password], where password is optional
  • You can now run /simpleirc commands in Post-Connection commands. usage: place any simpleirc command in post-connection commands. example: '/simpleirc defaultchannel #minecraft_chat'.
  • Post-connection commands now has a 'wait' command. usage: 'wait 3000' - waits 3 seconds.
  • You can toggle talking in minecraft chat and irc via a keybind (default "I").

To connect to the server saved in the configuration file, type the /simpleirc connect command without any additional parameters.

Tested on Pissnet (UnrealIRCd, no services) and UnrealIRCd with services.

Notes

If you can't connect to your IRC channel, make sure no one has already joined with your Minecraft name on the IRC side. If this happened, use /simpleirc raw NICK <newnick> and /simpleirc join &lt;channel&gt;.

  • This will also happen if you have a Minecraft name that starts with a number, you will NOT be able to connect with your Minecraft name. The technical reason is IRC reserves those for server IDs.

If you enabled autoconnect, it'll connect in 5 seconds after entering a world.
