✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community adoption (3,456 endorsements, 155k downloads) — clearly a go-to for multiplayer chat.
- Feature-packed: encrypted, multiple channels, giveaway, emojis, mentions — covers everything you'd want.
- Active development (last updated April 2026) with new features like emojis and clan support.
- Integrates with other mods like HUD Mod Loader, nuke codes, and Minerva — nice ecosystem synergy.
⚠️ Cons
- Requires both sender and receiver to have the mod installed — limits usefulness if your friends don't use it.
- Terms of use are heavy on privacy warnings — you're broadcasting public info, so be careful what you type.
- Installation instructions are incomplete — the description cuts off at 'When', leaving setup details vague.
For multiplayer-focused players who want a full-featured text chat with clans, trade, and events. If you're in an active community or clan, this is a must-have. Skip if you play solo or prefer voice chat only — the mod's value depends on others using it.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure your friends also install the mod — otherwise you won't see their messages.
- Use /emojis to see the emoji list and /codes for nuke codes, /minerva for locations, /season for season info.
- Check the config options to customize chat UI and disable mentions if they get annoying.
