RPLog
by Fireflasher
With RPLog installed, a server's chat history is written to log files that players can open from an in-game button.
What it does
RPLog records the chat messages of the server a player is connected to and keeps a history of them. A keyword list can be defined per server so that only messages containing the chosen words are logged, and the lists are edited from a GUI that is reached through the server list screen. Keywords can also be set as defaults and applied to servers that are used in singleplayer.
The mod was built with role-play servers in mind, where players want to find the interactions that matter to them among a large volume of chat. Logs are sorted by date and compressed to save storage, and an Open Folder button opens the log folder directly. The configuration screen is shown through Mod Menu. Fabric API is required, and Mod Menu is optional. The client runs the mod alone, so server owners do not install anything. Files are published for Fabric and Forge, with builds covering 1.16 – 1.21.1.
Key features

Messages are saved to the history when they match a keyword list defined for the server.
Per-server keyword lists
Each saved server address can hold its own keywords, edited from a GUI reached through the server list.
Default keywords
Default keywords can be set and used for servers played in singleplayer, and existing server entries can be edited.
Date-sorted, compressed logs
Logs are sorted by date and zipped to reduce storage, and an Open Folder button opens the log folder.

Use cases
Role-play servers

Who it’s for: Players who take part in role-play servers and want a searchable record of chat. The mod is client-side, so server owners only need to know that it is not required on their side.
