Universal Chat Filter

A flexible chat filtering system that allows hosts to enforce server-wide filters and players to apply personal filters.

Features

• Server-wide word filtering (host-controlled)
• Personal word filtering (client-side)
• Works even if the host does not use the mod
• Can filter messages from clients without the mod
• Multiple filtering methods supported
• Non-invasive and performance-friendly

Host Filter

The host can filter specific words for all players.

Recommended to use only rules agreed upon with server members to avoid feeling overly restrictive.

Effects

• Applies to all players
• Can filter messages from clients without the mod

Personal Filter

Players can locally filter words they do not wish to see.

Works even if:

• The host does not use the mod
• Other players do not use the mod

Privacy & Logging

Chat content is never stored.
The mod may record filter trigger events (filtered word and triggering player) without storing the original message.

Purpose

Designed to:

• Support server rules
• Prevent harassment or keyword-based spam
• Improve chat safety without intrusive moderation

Compatibility

• Safe for multiplayer
• Works with mixed mod/non-mod clients
• Does not modify gameplay or network state
