This is a client-side mod (CSM) for Luanti/Minetest.

It colorizes the nicknames in-game to keep track of people more easily. This mod supports the default chat format as well as a few server-specific formats. Chat lines where the format could not be detected are kept untouched.

Caveats:

• This mod works on servers using the default value of the setting csm_restriction_flags. However, it cannot work if client mods are prohibited from loading by the LOAD_CLIENT_MODS flag. If that is the case, do contact the server admin.
• Not all chat-modifying mods are supported.
• Not all chat command responses are supported. Responses that are marked for translation in the sense of S("foo @1 bar", playername) should generally be colorized.
