How do you make the player that is using the mod send a message in chat? 

If you want to send it to everyone, you'll need to call PlayerList#broadcastChatMessage, which you can obtain from the MinecraftServer from a ServerPlayer (see the sides doc on how to know what side you are on). If you only want to send it to yourself, then you can call ServerPlayer#displayClientMessage.

Hello, what I am trying to do is have the player be the one to send the message. I want the mod to make the player send the message to the chat. Thanks

 

Like I know there used to be a Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendChatMessage(""); or Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendMessage(""); in earlier versions but I cannot find that in 1.19.2

PineApplePen,

I had the same issue as you and I think I found a solution.

Try:

Minecraft.getInstance().player.chat("your message here!");

This is executed by the client, and It also works on multiplayer servers, but I only tested it in Forge 1.18.2.
