Better Chat History
by Persept
Better Chat History keeps past chat messages on the client, so a player can scroll back through them even after restarting Minecraft.
What it does
Chat messages received while the mod is active are stored, and the chat window lets the player scroll back through the full history. The stored messages stay available after the game is closed and opened again, which covers conversations and server announcements a player may want to read later. It is a Fabric mod for the 26.2 game version only, and it is released under CC0 1.0 Universal, which is not open source. Only the client needs it, so servers run without it.
Key features
Scrollable chat history
Past messages can be read by scrolling up through the chat window, not only the latest lines.
History kept across restarts
Received messages remain in the history after Minecraft is closed and started again.
Important messages preserved
Server announcements and other lasting messages stay readable rather than scrolling out of reach.
Compatibility
