What it does
Chat Compress Collapses repeated messages. When a player sends the exact same message as their own previous one, the duplicate is not shown a second time. Instead, a counter is broadcast in its place:
hello
hello (x2)
hello (x3)
The counter resets automatically as soon as that player sends a different message.
Why you might want it
- Keeps chat readable when someone repeats themselves instead of filling the screen with identical lines.
- Still makes it obvious that the message was sent multiple times, via the (xN) count.
- Lightweight and zero-setup: no commands and no config files. Install it and it works.
