More Chat History (NeoForge port)
by b1nt1n
More Chat History raises the limit on how many chat messages the game keeps, so players can scroll back to messages that default Minecraft would have removed.
What it does
Minecraft caps the chat history by default, so each new line pushes an older one out of view. This NeoForge port of More Chat History lifts that cap on the client, letting a player scroll back through far more earlier lines to find a server link, coordinates or a shared message from a chat session.
The change is made with clean mixins that adjust the chat buffer, which is why the author describes it as lightweight and safe with anti-cheat systems. It works on servers, on multiplayer networks and in singleplayer worlds alike. The mod is published for NeoForge 1.21.4 only, under the CC0 1.0 Universal license. A server-side installation is required for the mod to run as the author describes.
Key features
Longer chat history
The chat buffer holds a larger number of lines, so messages stay readable long after they would otherwise be dropped.
Extended chat scrolling
Players can scroll back through the longer history to read older messages, links and coordinates shared earlier.
Client-side adjustment
The change is applied on the player's side and does not alter what other players see in chat.
Light footprint
Clean mixins adjust only the chat buffer, with no heavy processing added to the game loop.

How it compares
Chat History Plus is an open source Fabric and NeoForge option for 1.20 – 1.21.4, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later and also client-side only. Longer Chat History covers Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt for 1.19.1 – 26.3 under All rights reserved and is not open source. Both are client-side only, so this port and those mods do not need server installs.

What the author says
A simple client-side mod that increases the chat history limit in Minecraft. By default, Minecraft's chat history is limited, meaning older messages disappear as new ones arrive. This mod increases that limit, allowing you to scroll back and read much older messages without them being deleted.
