💬 Smart Chat Background

📘 Smart Chat Background makes the Minecraft chat cleaner and easier to read. The mod adds a smart message background option to the chat settings: the background automatically adjusts to the length of each chat line, and a separate slider lets you customize the right-side padding.

It also includes a blurred chat background with adjustable blur strength from 1 to 10. The blur is applied only within the chat message area and respects the smart background width.

The mod is fully client-side and does not need to be installed on the server.
