ChatSearcher

by KSmc's Team

A query typed into the search box in the lower right of the chat screen filters the chat history to matching messages.

What it does

When the chat screen is open, a search field appears in its lower right corner. Typing text into it narrows the chat lines shown to those that contain the query, and clearing the field restores the full history. The mod works on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, and it runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Files target 1.21 – 1.21.1, and the mod is released under the MIT License and is open source.

Key features

  1. Chat search box

    Typing in the field at the lower right of the chat screen narrows the displayed messages to the ones that match.

  2. Query filtering

    Entering a query limits the chat view to lines that match the specified text.

  3. Original chat on clear

    When the search box is emptied, the chat window returns to showing everything without any change to the messages.
