Java Notification sound for /fmsg

Heyy everyone!

I noticed something a bit odd with chat notifications and wanted to make a suggestion about it.

Right now, if you have Notifications enabled (in Settings), you'll hear a sound when someone messages you with /msg or mentions your name in chat. However, /fmsg doesn't play any sound at all.
Sometimes those messages can be important, but they’re much easier to miss without a notification sound. You could easily miss a message from a friend at an unexpected moment, especially if you’re not actively looking at chat.

Another thing to consider is how these commands are used:

• /msg is typically used when someone is in the same game or map as you
• /fmsg works across the entire network

For example, you could be in the lobby while your friend is in an EggWars, SkyBlock, or FFA game, and they can still message you using /fmsg. Because of that, these messages can be just as important, if not more.

I also want to point out that /fmsg can be very easy to miss in modes like FFA, where the chat is often filled with kill messages.

As for the sound itself (for/fmsg), I tested a few options and really liked the Note Block Chime:
/playsound minecraft:block.note_block.chime block @p ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1

For reference, /msg currently uses Note Block Pling:
/playsound minecraft:block.note_block.pling block @p ~ ~ ~ 1 1 1

That’s just a suggestion for the type of sound, it doesn’t have to be exactly that.

What do you think? If you have any other suggestions or ideas, I’d be happy to read them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!
