New Features

Global Peek Overlay

When on Local or DM tabs, recent global chat messages appear as a floating overlay with automatic 10-second fade-out.

  • Sender names colorized (rank in gray, player name in yellow)
  • Word wrapping for long messages
  • Compatible with Chat Heads mod (strips [PlayerName head] placeholders)
  • Configurable line count (1-10)

Layout Editor (/chattabs layout)

Drag-and-drop screen to customize your chat UI:

  • Reposition the peek overlay (yellow box) and the vanilla chat (blue box)
  • Resize the peek overlay via corner handle
  • All positions persist across sessions in chattabs.json

Server Channel Tracking

No more /g or /l spam when switching tabs — commands only sent when the channel actually changes.

New Commands

Command Description
/chattabs peek Show peek status
/chattabs peek on / off Toggle global peek overlay
/chattabs peek lines <1-10> Set number of peek lines
/chattabs layout Open layout editor
/chattabs layout reset Reset all positions to default

Fixes

  • Fix charTyped mixin crash on 1.21.11 (method doesn't exist in ChatScreen)
  • Fix Modrinth publish workflow (correct API endpoint, JDK 21, dynamic game version)
  • Fix Modrinth sync workflow (auth token, conditional PR creation)
