(Post translated from french to english using ChatGTP)
*********************
Hello!
I'm looking for a developer (or a team of developers) to create a mod for my Minecraft server (1.18.2, Mohist 1.18.2-136 [API version 1.18.2-R0.1-SNAPSHOT], Forge 40.2.14). Before explaining my needs in detail, here’s some context:
The server is a fully roleplay Minecraft server: players embody characters and go on different adventures (combat, investigation, lore discovery, etc.) similar to D&D. Unlike tabletop RPGs, characters act in real-time rather than taking turns, meaning they can speak and act at any moment.
In real life, during a conversation, we can see who’s speaking and (usually) avoid interrupting. On the Minecraft server, when a player is typing a message to speak or perform an action, other players can’t see it; there’s no visual indication.
That’s why I’m creating this post. We’d like a mod that provides different visual indicators when a player performs certain actions: when speaking 'In Character' (IC), when doing an action ('emote'), and when speaking 'Out of Character' (OOC - OOC is "HRP" in french). These visual indicators should be images that appear above the player’s head. Here are some examples to illustrate:
How does our system for speaking and performing actions work? Three scenarios:
The visual indicators should appear only when the player is actively typing a message in their Minecraft chat: they shouldn’t appear if no characters have been entered, if the chat is simply opened, or after the message is sent. The goal of this mod is to provide a visual cue while typing to help players avoid interrupting and make it easier to follow the flow of a conversation.
I'd like the mod to be future-proof: if I need to add a new prefix for any of the three cases, I’d like to be able to do it myself! The code should be well-commented and documented.
Thx!

These visual indicators should be images that appear above the player’s head. Here are some examples to illustrate:
How does our system for speaking and performing actions work? Three scenarios:
- Speaking 'In Character': The player opens the Minecraft chat, writes their message, and sends it. As in real life, they can speak at varying volumes. We use prefixes for this: & (whisper), ' (hushed), - (low), + (shout), ! (yell). If no prefix is used, they speak normally. Whenever a player speaks 'In Character,' regardless of the prefix used, a chat bubble should appear above their character's head.
- Performing 'emotes': The player opens the Minecraft chat, writes their emote, and sends it. To indicate an emote, they use the prefix *; they can create emotes that are visible from different distances by combining * with the speaking prefixes: for example, *+ is a 'shouted action' visible as far as a shouted message (prefix +). Whenever an emote is performed, the message always starts with *. We need a different visual indicator to show other players that the user is currently typing an emote. This indicator should be distinct from the chat bubble used for speaking.
- Speaking 'Out of Character': The player opens the Minecraft chat, writes their message, and sends it. OOC speech is often used to correct typos or mention that the player needs to AFK. An OOC message always begins with the prefix (. We need a third visual indicator to show other players that the user is currently typing an OOC message.
The visual indicators should appear only when the player is actively typing a message in their Minecraft chat: they shouldn’t appear if no characters have been entered, if the chat is simply opened, or after the message is sent. The goal of this mod is to provide a visual cue while typing to help players avoid interrupting and make it easier to follow the flow of a conversation.
I'd like the mod to be future-proof: if I need to add a new prefix for any of the three cases, I’d like to be able to do it myself! The code should be well-commented and documented.
- For more details, feel free to ask in this post or add me on Discord (stickoala).
- Regarding budget: I’m unsure what a mod like this might cost and am open to your estimates.
- Regarding payment: I prefer to pay via Paypal. No cryptocurrency.
Thx!
