Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.20. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.
I don't know my version or loader
The Problem
Minecraft 1.20.2 has added a configuration phase where the server can reconfigure several features for the client. Unfortunately when entering this configuration phase the clients chat is cleared and the server can not prevent that.
This is also relevant on multi server networks where switching between server causes the client to enter this configuration phase and so the chat is also cleared.
As is it often important to be able to follow conversations from before the reconfiguration this chat clear might be unwanted.
The Solution
This mod just prevents Minecraft from clearing the chat messages when entering the configuration phase, so it will just behave like in older versions and you are still able to read what was written in the chat before.
