About this mod Author’s original text
Text Chat Filter
This mod filters offensive or inappropriate language in Mage Arena’s lobby and in-game text chat. It replaces bad words with “bad”, even if they are spaced, obscured, or typed using symbols, leetspeak, or repeated characters.
The plugin integrates seamlessly with the game’s text chat system and is optimized for both performance and accuracy.
Features
- Obfuscation-Proof Filtering: Detects words with spaces, symbols (e.g., h.e.l.l.o, h e l l o, hhheeeelllooo) and leetspeak (h3ll0, g00dby3), etc
- Performance Optimized: Handles extremely large word lists with minimal overhead or lag (up to 40 character words currently)
- Invisible Replacement: Replaces only filtered words while leaving the rest of the message untouched
- No External Config Needed: Word list is built-in

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
