Chat Alert

Never miss something said in chat again. Chat Alert watches for words or phrases you choose and, when they show up, can highlight them, play a custom sound from your PC, or both — configured separately for each word.

Features

  • Highlight matched text in the color of your choice, without touching the rest of the message's formatting (server ranks, plugin colors, etc. stay intact).
  • Play a custom sound straight from a file on your PC — no need to bundle it inside the mod, any WAV works.
  • Turn highlight and sound on/off independently, per word/phrase.
  • Track as many words/phrases as you like at once.
  • Works in singleplayer and on servers — including ones that reformat chat through plugins (a common technique that breaks most simple chat-watching mods).
  • 100% client-side. No server-side installation needed, works on any server.

Commands

Everything lives under /chatalert: add, remove, list, sound, togglesound, togglehighlight, color, test.
