ChatBoost: Interface Customization and Copy Tools

ChatBoost modernizes the Minecraft chat display with responsive layout controls, message drafting memory, and interactive context menus. Players can freely position chat windows to avoid obscuring critical status elements and manage text snippets directly from the screen.

Viewport Layout, Formatting, and Drafting Memory

Within the "Chat Interface" and "HUD (Heads Up Display)" sections, players can tailor the dimensions and screen placement of the message box. Activating "Override chat width" expands the chat window beyond vanilla constraints, accommodating extensive sentences on high-resolution displays. To prevent chat text from overlapping with the armor bar or health hearts, "Shift chat" raises the entire message widget vertically. Custom formatting can also be applied to usernames using "Playername text", replacing standard angle brackets with personalized markers.

Drafting behavior is streamlined through dedicated memory toggles. Enabling "Chat drafting toggle" prevents typed but unexecuted text from disappearing if the chat prompt is closed, ensuring long messages remain intact when re-opened. Similarly, "Search drafting toggle" preserves active search queries within the search bar, though players who prefer a clean screen can engage "Hide search button" to remove search functionality entirely.

Right-Click Copy Menu and Search Tools

Interacting with incoming chat lines is simplified through the "Copy menu". Right-clicking any line in the chat history draws a highlight box tinted by "Message selection color" and reveals practical context actions. Selecting "Copy String >" copies raw sentence text to the system clipboard, while "Copy Sender >" captures the author's username.

For time-sensitive coordinates or timestamps, users can select "Copy Timestamp >" or "Copy Unix Time". Embedded web addresses can be instantly exported using "Copy Link(s) >", circumventing awkward manual clicks. When responding directly to messages, "Reply text format" automatically prefixes the recipient's name into the input field. Advanced line searching also supports "Case sensitive" filtering to distinguish between precise commands and normal dialogue.
