Due to the cluttered chat on Hypixel Bedwars, i was searching for a simple chat filter and replacement mod for 1.8.9. I was surprised to find out that there arent any that work well.
So, i present:
Strableg's ChatFilter!
Purely clientside, made for use on any server.
This Mod only affects the chat on your side, so it is allowed on every server!
Filtering is based on Regex, which a lot of people already know.
Many different filters with more to come:
A rich /command interface, providing functionality for
Simply type /cf in the chat. The Syntax is very self-explanatory. It only requires a little knowledge of Regex.
Regex stands for regular expression and is a simple and consise way to describe the syntax of a text.
At the start of this project, i never wrote a regular expression in my life, but its a matter of maybe 30 minutes to learn.
I recommend asking ChatGPT for a specific filter and the using regex101 to better understand it.
Example: Removing Hypixels annoying "[MVP+] PlayerXYZ slid into the lobby!" Messages.
The syntax for this is /cf add <filter name> <regex pattern>
So i would type: /cf add hypixel_lobbyJoin ".* slid into the lobby!.*"
Every message containing the string "slid into the lobby!" is now hidden! But what about replacing them?
To do so, simply specify you want to add a replace-filter: /cf add <filter name> <regex pattern> replace <replacement>
Like this: /cf add hypixel_lobbyJoin ".*(\[.*\].*) slid into the lobby!.*" replace "$1 joined!"
Now everytime someone joins the lobby you will see this message: "[MVP+] PlayerXYZ joined!"
Easy, right? But the replacement looks boring, so lets color it a bit by using color codes!
Like this: /cf add hypixel_lobbyJoin ".*(\[.*\].*) slid into the lobby!.*" replace "&3&l$1 &ejoined!"
Example: Summarizing all those "+XXX coins! (Triple Coins + EXP, Network booster, etc.)"
You can achieve this by adding a summarize-filter: /cf add <filter name> <regex pattern> summarize <summarizing message> <delay in client ticks>
For example: /cf add hypixel_coins "\+(\d+) coins?!.*" summarize "&6+$1 coins in the past 30 seconds!" 1200
To view all your filters, simply type /cf list.
If you want to disable or reenable a filter, you can do so by typing /cf enable <filters...> or /cf disable <filters...>
Note that you can also use Regex to enable and disable filters. Here i enable all filters starting with "hypixel_": /cf enable hypixel_.*
Here i disable all filters by typing using the ".*" regex: /cf disable .*
You can also just disable/ enable filtering by the mod overall by typing /cf disable or /cf enable.
If you want to use filters together, you can add them to a preset: /cf preset <preset> add <filters...>
Here, i add all hypixel related filters to a preset called hypixel: /cf preset hypixel add hypixel_.*
You can now check out the newly created preset with /cf list. If you want to check the rules contained in it, you can use /cf list preset=hypixel
/cf list has a few different options that will change whats listed and that can be combined. If you type "/cf list " and press tab, all filters will be suggested.
Example: /cf list preset=hypixel name=bedwars_.* enabled hide verbose will list all filters in the preset "hypixel" that have a name starting with "bedwars_" and are enabled and are hiding filters. It will also describe the filters very verbose
When listing filters, they either have a red, yellow or green name.
If you want to rename a filter, you can by using /cf rename <filter> <new name>.
Thanks to leaf for the inspiration through their chatfilter 2.0 Mod! This was the only usable chat filter mod i have found, which inspired me to make this.
Feel free to ask questions in the comments. A port to any other game version is not planned as of now.
This Description will be updated soon.
