AdvancedChatLog Modernized
by x_jeggu
AdvancedChatLog Modernized lets players scroll back through chat history further than vanilla Minecraft allows, and search it with regular expressions.
What it does
The mod is a fork of the AdvancedChatLog work, updated for version 1.21.8, and continues the line that DarkKronicle started. Players can view chat history beyond the vanilla limit of 100 lines, retain that history across relaunching the game, and use smooth scrolling while reading it.
Search uses regular expressions with a literal, case-insensitive match option, so a player can find a word or phrase in older messages without scrolling through the whole log. The mod requires AdvancedChatCore Modernized to run. Only the client needs it, so a server does not have to install anything. It is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0 and is published for Fabric and Quilt, with builds covering 1.21.8 – 1.21.10.
Key features
Extended chat history
Chat history can be viewed beyond the 100 lines that vanilla Minecraft keeps on screen.
Regex search
Chat history is searched with regular expressions, with a literal and case-insensitive option.
Persistent history
Chat history stays saved across relaunching the game, so older messages remain available after a restart.

Use cases
Finding older messages
A player who missed a coordinate or instruction posted earlier in a busy session can search the log for it instead of scrolling back.
Reviewing a long session
Players who play for hours on a server can read back through the full conversation after a restart.
Who it’s for: Players who run the client on Fabric or Quilt and want to read or search chat beyond the vanilla limit.
How it compares
AdvancedChatLog Next is a Fabric and Quilt client mod under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, with files for 1.21 – 1.21.8, so it does not reach the 1.21.8 – 1.21.10 builds of this mod. [AdvancedChatLog] Simply Updated is also a client-side Fabric mod under the Mozilla Public License 2.0, but its files cover 1.21.11 – 26.3 and it does not support Quilt. AdvancedChatLog Reforged is a Fabric client mod under the same license, limited to 26.1 – 26.3.
