NoChatClear
by Shaijana
NoChatClear keeps earlier chat messages on screen when a player changes worlds or datapacks, on Fabric for 1.20.2 – 1.20.4.
What it does
Starting with Minecraft 1.20.2, the game clears the chat when a client enters the configuration phase, which can happen when switching to a world with a different datapack, even through the same proxy server. NoChatClear stops that clearing so earlier messages remain visible. Its author describes it as a small client-side mod built on Fabric, and the bug report for the clearing was closed as working as intended.
The mod is released under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, and the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.20.2, 1.20.3 and 1.20.4, with 1.0.0 for 1.20.4 as the latest one, published 2023-10-09.
