Install the mod (https://modrinth.com/mod/web-chat) or grab the (https://github.com/Tildes-MC/minecraft-web-chat/releases). 2. Start minecraft. 3. Join a server. 4. Go to `localhost:8080` on the same computer, or use your computer's local IP address (like `192.168.1.x:8080`) from other devices on your network. 5. Start chatting. ## Settings ### Message settings - `Ping on Username` - This will ping the browser window any time a player's username appears in the chat. - `Extra Ping keywords` - This will ping the browser window any time one of these words appear in the chat. ### Network settings - `HTTP Port` - Port number used to serve the web interface. `8080` by default. - `Open Chat to LAN` - Open the web chat to your local network so other devices (like your phone) can connect. Enabled by default. When disabled, the chat binds to `localhost` only and is reachable from this computer alone. While enabled, a QR code button is shown in the player list that lets you quickly open the chat on your phone by scanning your computer's local network address. # Security & Privacy This mod turns minecraft into a small web server on your computer that's only accessible (using `localhost` or your local IP) on your home network. This means that you can access Web Chat on a different device on your network, but not over the internet. No data is sent over the internet beyond your normal Minecraft traffic. **Important:** This mod is designed for local use only. **Do not** expose the web chat port to the internet. If you need remote access, setup a VPN (such as (https://tailscale.com/)).
