Chat Bubbles

Chat Bubbles is a mod for various Liteloader, Rift and Fabric versions.

The mod adds speech bubbles/text similar to MMOs above a players head.

Mod is available on CUrseforge and Planet Minecraft (the latter linking 1.4.7 to 1.7.2 Forge/Risugami's Modloader builds directed to Medafire).

Curseforge Description:

Chat Bubbles is a mod that displays things other players say above their heads in a chat bubble, like some MMORPGs

Go here http://minecraft.curseforge.com/mc-mods/235520-chat-bubbles/files to make sure you get the right version for your version of Minecraft!

For 1.12.2 and below, ChatBubbles requires Liteloader. For brand new versions of Minecraft, you might need to get Liteloader development builds from the Jenkins build server. Get Liteloader betas there. With Liteloader installed, put the .litemod file into your ,minecraft/mods/1.12 or .minecraft/mods/1.8 folder (whatever your version)

for 1.13 and 1.13.2, ChatBubbles requires Rift (for 1.13.2 you need this version). With Rift installed, put the .jar file into your minecraft/mods/ folder

1.14 needs Fabric Launcher (install it for 1.14 or 1.14.1 or maybe 1.14.2) and Fabric API (put the jar in your mods folder, get release 157 or later).

Works on most multiplayer servers, but if a server has a super customized format for chat lines that is far enough away from normal it may not work on that server. It is possible to make custom regex lines to add support for individual servers that are not supported out of the box.

Planet Minecraft Description:

Available for 1.7.10, 1.8.0, 1.9.0, 1.9.4, 1.10 (and 1.10.2), 1.11, 1.11.2 ,1.12, 1.12.2, 1.13, 1.13.2, 1.14 and 1.15.2. Older versions linked at the bottom of the description

This mod displays what people say above their head. Useful for crowded servers where the chat lines fly by. This way you can hold a conversation with people near you.

This is similar to VoxelChat, but VoxelChat functions best with a server plugin. This has a lot of work on the client side done so that it has a lot better chance of working on servers that don't use the server plugin. That said, this has used the server plugin too in the past, and may again, and VoxelChat now includes the better client side parsing from this mod. So not much separates them now aside from looks :-/

Modpacks: This mod may be included in modpacks, if

I am credited (please include a link to this page) you do not make money from the modpack. No charging for it or putting it behind an ad link (like (Ad link removed))

for 1.14+ install: Install http ://fabric.asie .pl/use/ (remove spaces come on planetminecraft), then put the Fabric API and ChatBubbles .jar files in your mods folder

for 1.13(.2) Install: Install Rift outdated, then put the ChatBubbles .jar file in your .minecraft/mods folder.

for 1.12.2 and below Install: Install Liteloader, then put the ChatBubbles .litemod file in your .minecraft/mods folder. also, Liteloader works fine with Forge (or without it)

Known Issues:

nicknames will not work. If the name attached to the chat message is different than the name above someone's head, there is no way to match that. Wouldn't mind redoing this so there's a server component that communicates better with the client re: who sent a message

pretty much anything with a : or a > after the name almost anything with name in a < > block
 * Chatline formats currently handled properly (not exhaustive):

The general case regular expressions are pushed about as far as I can go. The mod now has the ability to use custom regex lines per server. There are a few examples in /.modloader/mods/chatbubbles/customRegexes.txt (after you run minecraft with the mod once). Each line is four parts.

server address (with port if necessary). regex to match that server's chat format(s). which group corresponds with the playername. Can be multiple comma separated values in the case of an OR in the regex (for multiple wildly different styles on a server). group corresponding to the message.

Add more lines to that file and they will be used. If you can't work it out, as usual send me your server's chat format and I can help you put together a new custom line.

Old Versions (all for Modloader/Forge) 1.7.2, 1.6.4, 1.6.2, 1.5.2, 1.4.7
