Timestamp Chat

by abbie

Timestamp Chat adds customisable timestamps to the in-game chat window, so each message shows the time it was sent.

FabricForgeQuiltClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.15.2 – 1.21.4

What it does

The mod is a simple client-side utility that prints a time next to each line in chat. The format of the timestamp can be customised. Only the client needs it, so players install it themselves and servers run without it.

Key features

  1. Customisable timestamps

    The time shown before each chat message can be adjusted to the format the player prefers.

  2. Timestamps in the chat window

    Each incoming and outgoing chat line is marked with the time it appeared, making a long session easier to follow.

  3. Configuration through Cloth Config

    Settings are edited on a screen provided by Cloth Config API, which the mod requires.
