Adjustable Chat History Length
by justElias
Adjustable Chat History Length lets each player set how many chat messages the client keeps, up to 16,384 entries.
What it does
A command lets a player change the number of past messages kept in chat. Vanilla Minecraft stores only about 100 lines, so the mod raises that ceiling and lets the player choose the size, up to 16,384 messages, to avoid losing older text during long sessions. The change runs only on the client, so a server needs no installation, and the mod depends on Fabric API. It is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license and is open source, and its files target 1.21.1 only.
