Notes and installation instructions for 1.6.1 (and beyond) and the new launcher:

Note: Loading TabbyChat through Forge is no longer support for MC 1.6.4 and beyond

First, I suggest you follow the adf.ly link for two reasons - it helps support development, and additionally it will provide you with a .jar file, which will generally be more useful under the new launcher system. For some reason, PMC won't let me upload a .jar file to be directly-downloaded.

If you're using Forge, the .jar file will work exactly like normal. For ModLoader, you may want to change the file to a .zip extension (or use the direct download, for which I have already done so). If installing 'standalone', here is my recommended procedure:

  • Create a copy of your ".minecraft/versions/1.6.1" folder inside the versions folder to represent your modded client if you have not already done so. Make sure to rename both the jar and json file, as well as the "id" line WITHIN the json file, to the same name as your new folder.

  • Inside your ".minecraft/libraries" folder, create the following directory structure: "mods/TabbyChat/[version]" and put the TabbyChat download inside that version folder - e.g. your TabbyChat download will now be in ".minecraft/libraries/mods/TabbyChat/1.8.07/TabbyChat-1.8.07.jar"

  • Edit the json file from step 1 (in your new version folder) to contain the following line in the 'libraries' section:
{ "name": "mods:TabbyChat:1.8.07" },


  • You may need to delete the META-INF folder from your new client jar if you receive errors regarding digital signatures of base class files.


4. Setup a profile in your launcher to use your new version folder, and you're good to go.


Note that, when following this method, no editing of any jar file is required.

Old and LiteLoader versions, as well as non-English language files, are available for download here.



TabbyChat is a client-side mod for Minecraft that aims to make the multiplayer chat interface more organized, managable, and user-friendly. It can be installed (or loaded) into the Minecraft client by patching minecraft.jar or loaded at runtime via several different supported APIs.

Primary Features



The primary feature of TabbyChat is to organize chat messages into different channels, and to represent those channels via tab-like buttons displayed above the chat interface. There are several different ways to configure TabbyChat to organize chat, including:
  • Auto-searching for new chat channels or PM messages
  • Selecting the appropriate Chat-Channel delimiters and manually creating the desired tabs
  • Using custom filters to direct messages matching the desired expression to a specific tab

Custom Filters

Custom filters allow the user to tell TabbyChat to perform various actions when a chat message matches the defined Regular Expression. These actions include the following:
  • Highlight the matching text (with color and/or formatting)
  • Play a notification sound
  • Send the message to a specific tab
  • Send the message to all tabs
  • Prevent the message from displaying


Additional Features

  • Spell-checking
  • Unread Message Notifications
  • Timestamps prepended to chat messages
  • Suppress spammed chat messages
  • Log all chat to logfile with timestamps
  • Force Unicode font rendering
  • Interactive scroll bar
  • Dynamically movable/resizable chat box
  • Customize the number of messages retained (displayed) for each tab
  • Customize the length of time a message remains on-screen during normal gameplay
  • Each tab can have a 'command prefix' that can be applied to your messages
  • Multi-line chat with configurable transmission delay
  • New mouse controls and Key-binds added for interacting with TabbyChat

For detailed documentation, see the TabbyChat wiki page

Installation



Use MCPatcher, or drag the files to into minecraft.jar, or any similar method. Alternatively, TabbyChat can be loaded via ModLoader or Forge (see note above) - this is preferred if you're already using either of these. TabbyChat will work fine alongside of most other mods that don't involve chat manipulation.

The simplest way to install and use TabbyChat is either via LiteLoader (which comes with its own simple installation tool), or through MagicLauncher.

Here's a good Regular Expression reference for use when creating your own chat filters

and here's a great reference for testing your filter expressions

1.10.00 : by RocketMan10404 12/24/2013 6:39:17 amDec 24th, 2013

New Feature - Spellchecking: Implementation of Jazzy library (jazzy.sourceforge.net) for spellchecking contents of the chat-input box periodically while typing. Misspelled words will have a dashed red line below them, and a simple english-language dictionary file is included in the mod distribution. For more advanced or alternate-language dictionaries, download dictionary zip files from here, extract the ".dic" file, rename it to match the Minecraft locale (e.g. en_US.dic), and place it in "config/tabbychat" in your minecraft directory. Additionally, you can create a file there called "user.dic" containing any other words (one per line) that you'd like to be ignored for spellchecking purposes.
New Feature - Chat Opacity: a new checkbox in the advanced settings tab will now allow the chatbox text to be rendered fully opaque regardless of the chat opacity setting, which would still apply to the background of the chatbox.
Bugfix: keybinds involving the Shift key will now work for the right-shift button.
Bugfix: fixed some issues with Emoticons compatibility
Bugfix: fixed issue causinn double-spaces between /msg prefix and message when using tab command prefixes
Bugfix: fixed issue with "message too long" kicks from server when the player attempts to send a 99-character-long chat message.
Bugfix: minor improvements to chatbox/scrollbar fading
