BetterChatReborn
by musab
BetterChatReborn changes how chat messages are displayed and stored on the client, with options for compacting repeats and removing blank lines.
What it does
Repeated chat lines can be merged into a single entry with a counter, and empty messages can be dropped from the feed. The chat history length can be raised up to 16384 lines, so older messages stay reachable for longer. Telemetry sending can be turned off, name and account bans in chat are ignored, and chat is always allowed to be used.
The features are toggleable from an in-game settings screen opened through Mod Menu, which uses Cloth Config. Changes are saved with the Save button, and toggling compaction or blank-line removal takes effect immediately, while changes to expanded history or the chat restriction bypass need a restart. The settings file is created on first launch, and a damaged or missing file is rebuilt from the defaults.
BetterChatReborn is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It is published for Fabric only, in a single build for 26.1.2, and it runs on the client alone. Fabric Loader 0.19.3 or newer is needed, along with Fabric API, Cloth Config API and Mod Menu.

Use cases
Busy multiplayer servers
On a server with frequent spam or repeated broadcasts, compacting duplicates keeps the feed short enough to follow.
Long sessions
A longer history lets players scroll back further through earlier conversation in one session.
Who it’s for: Players who want a tidier chat feed on Fabric for 26.1.2, and players who prefer that telemetry is not sent.
