Last Seen Message
by Ommie
Last Seen Message tells players when they last played together and what happened the first time someone joined a server.
What it does
The mod sends messages that report when a player was last seen on a server, and messages for first and repeat joins, including the case where someone has seen the same server before. Message text is set through a custom placeholder system and a custom formatting system, so the wording can be adapted to a group or to a server's own style.
Settings are kept in a customizable configuration file, and a game config editor is available through Mod Menu and YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) for players who prefer a screen to editing a file. Fabric API must be installed alongside it. Last Seen Message runs on Fabric only, is client-side only, and is open source under the MIT License. Files cover 1.20 – 26.3 across 24 release versions, and the latest Fabric file is 0.1.3 for 26.3, published 2026-07-18.

How it compares
Simple Welcome Message is also Fabric-only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21 – 26.1.2, so its version range is narrower than the one for Last Seen Message. Auto Greeting is Client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.21.11 – 26.3, a shorter range that starts later. chatbridge is Client-side only and open source under the MIT License, with files for 1.21.10 – 26.2. Last Seen Message adds last-seen reports on top of join messages, which the alternatives do not cover.
