PersistentChatHistory

Java mod listed for Minecraft 1.16. Downloads from the MC Java Mods app on Android.

Which Minecraft do you have?

Every version of the game needs its own build. Pick yours, then download — the wrong build installs fine and then does nothing in the game. This mod is built for Forge only.

Minecraft 1.16.1

I don't know my version or loader

Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.

No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.

About

Ever wanted to scroll through your chats from yesterday or look up the important message you got an hour ago on the last server you was on?
PersistentChatHistory makes this possible!

With PersistentChatHistory, your chat messages and sent history will be saved when you change the server/world or restart the game!

Customize the Limit of Saved Messages

You can customize how much messages should be saved by changing the "maxsavedlines" value in the mod config to whatever value you like.

The config file is located at ".minecraft/config/persistentchathistory/config.txt".

Increase the Limit of Displayed Messages

By default, the minecraft chat can only display 100 lines of messages.
You can use BiggerChatHistory to increase this limit!
