Don't Clear Chat History+

by earlystream

Don't Clear Chat History+ keeps a player's sent-message history across disconnects, so the Up Arrow key still recalls earlier commands after a relog.

FabricClient-side onlyCustom license1.21.1 – 26.2

What it does

Sent messages and commands are kept between sessions on the client, so after leaving a server and rejoining, the previously entered entries can still be reached with the Up Arrow key. The mod is a single mixin and changes nothing on the server side. It is published for Fabric across 15 release versions, 1.21.1 – 26.2, and is not open source; its custom license governs use.

Key features

  1. Persistent message history

    Sent-message history survives a disconnect and reconnect instead of being cleared when the session ends.

  2. Up Arrow recall

    Previously entered commands remain reachable with the Up Arrow key in the chat box, without retyping them.

  3. Minimal footprint

    The implementation is one mixin, so the change to the game stays small and simple to follow.

How it compares

Full comparison

Keep Command History is also a client-side history option, but it is open source under the MIT License and covers Fabric and Forge for 1.20.1 – 1.20.4. Name History, by contrast, is a Fabric-only client mod under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later and does not address chat recall.

What the author says

If you frequently use commands and rely on the Up Arrow key to retrieve previously entered ones, losing your command history after disconnecting or reconnecting can be frustrating. This simple but effective mod preserves your command history between server sessions.
