Server Chat Log History

by Loedje

Server Chat Log History lets players on a Fabric server read earlier chat messages when they join.

FabricServer-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 or laterOpen source1.20 – 1.21.6

What it does

When a player joins, the chat history recorded by the server is available to read, which helps with revisiting coordinates, catching up on conversations and reading messages left while a friend was offline. Only server operators receive the chat log by default, and the file is created the first time the server starts. The mod runs on the server alone, so players join without installing anything. It is published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.20 – 1.21.6, and is open source under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later.

Key features

  1. Chat history on join

    Players who join the server can see messages sent before they logged in, with the history loaded automatically.

  2. Operator-only log by default

    The chat log is sent exclusively to operators unless the config file is changed to widen access.

  3. Config file

    A config file is created the first time the server starts, and its options control who receives the chat log.
