Chat Filters

A simple mod that filters chat messages based on a list of regular expressions.

It works by not allowing the message to appear if it matches a pattern specified in the configuration (blacklist) or if it doesn't match a pattern (whitelist).

Note: it won't remove any matching messages prior to adding a filter, nor bring back the ones already filtered even if you turn it off. It acts as if the messages never came through.

What are its features?

• Client-Side Chat Filtering.
• Use either a whitelist or a blacklist for chat messages.

Future plans?

• I'd like to remake pattern matching to use a more standardized system that supports flags input and doesn't require the user to match the whole string.

Examples

Because Java's built-in pattern system differs in syntax to for example JavaScript, here are some example filter patterns:

• ^\[SERVER\].* - every message starting with [SERVER]
• ^<.*>.* - every player-sent chat message (on a non-modified minecraft server), eg. <Player1> Hello!
• .*aould.* - every message containing the word "aould"

Do I need anything else?

This mod uses YetAnotherConfigLib for configuration. While it should work fine without it, you won't be able to modify any configuration options in-game.
