Take That Back
by JustGnat
Take That Back lets a player retract a chat message within a short window after sending it, by typing the retract command.
What it does
Chat messages are held for a configurable delay before they reach the server, which gives a window in which the sender can undo them. The default delay is one second, and the value can be changed with a command or the config menu. The mod is Fabric-only and runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it. Its files target 1.21.11, the single game version listed, with the latest build dated 2026-06-07. The code is All rights reserved and not open source.
Key features
Retract within a window
Messages sent within the delay can be taken back using the takethatback retract message type or the ttb alias.
Adjustable delay
The delay is set with the takethatback command or in the config menu, and defaults to one second.
Informed chat and disabling
A notice appears in chat when a message is retracted, and the mod can be turned off in game.

What the author says
This mod allows you to add a delay between sending a chat message in chat, and the message being sent to the server, allowing you to 'undo' messages. To retract a message, type /takethatback or use the /ttb alias. You will be informed in chat if this worked.
