DisableMessageDeletion
by kennytv
DisableMessageDeletion turns off the deletion of chat messages on Fabric, so a player's earlier messages stay visible in chat.
What it does
The mod lets a player stop the chat messages they sent from being removed. A minimum delay in seconds controls how long a message must stand before it can be deleted, with a default of 10 seconds. Setting the delay to -1 in the Mod Menu configuration, through Cloth Config, disables message deletion completely. Messages whose deletion is prevented during the delay period show a purple indicator. Mod Menu is optional and only needed for that configuration screen. The mod is client-side only, so a server without it still works, and it is published for 1.19.1 and 1.19.2.
