Chat Patches Mod is a Minecraft client-side mod that touches up Minecraft’s mundane chat, with configurability in mind!
Features:
- Increases the maximum amount of chat messages from 100 to 16,384
- Adds a timestamp in front of all messages, formatted as [HOUR:MINUTE:SECOND] in pink text, with a tooltip that renders a complete date
- Keeps chat history and previously sent messages across ALL worlds and servers
- Allows logging chat messages for restoring them later in future Minecraft sessions
- Lets you modify vanilla player names to anything you want (ex. without the triangle brackets!)
- Minimizes spam with a counter that shows how many duplicate messages have been sent in a row
- Shifts the chat hud up by 10 pixels, so it doesn’t overlap with the armor bar
- Provides a menu to copy specific data (and the text of course!) from chat messages
- Lets you search through all received messages with a search bar
- All of this is configurable, with much more to offer!
