I was trying to make a mod that cancels any chat that starts with ",chatmod", but when I tried event.setCanceled(true), my client didn't show the message but the clients of other players did show the message.

Here's a snippet of my code:

    @SubscribeEvent
    public void onChat(ClientChatReceivedEvent event) {
        String message = event.getMessage().getUnformattedText();
        print(message+" (printed)");
        if (message.split(" ")[0].contentEquals(",chatmod")) {
        	
        	print("CHATMOD COMMAND");
        	print("TYPE: "+message.split(" ")[2]);
        	event.setCanceled(true);
        	
        }
    }
    

Also, here's the print function I made:

void print(String toP) {
		
	Minecraft.getMinecraft().player.sendMessage(new TextComponentString(toP));
		
};

 

What event could be canceled so that the message wouldn't be sent in the first place?

Spelling error

Thanks! I used that and it worked.
