Chat Patches Mod FAQ

Open your chat and click the small button added by the mod, or use the mod's keybind if one is set. From there you can toggle timestamps, the duplicate counter, chat shifting, and other options.

Chat history is only kept across sessions if you enable the history-saving option in the config. Make sure that setting is on, since it is not always enabled by default.

Open the mod's chat menu and pick the copy option on the message you want. You can copy just the text or specific data attached to that message.

Yes, the mod adds a search function that lets you look through all received messages. Open the search from the chat screen and type what you're looking for.

Go into the mod's config and find the timestamp settings, where you can adjust the format pattern and appearance. The default shows hours, minutes, and seconds in pink with a full date tooltip.

The mod shifts the chat HUD up so it doesn't overlap with the armor bar. You can disable or adjust this in the config if you prefer the vanilla position.

Enable the duplicate message counter in the config. When the same message is sent multiple times in a row, the mod collapses them into a single line with a count instead of spamming the chat.

It's a client-side mod, so it works on any server you join without needing it installed server-side. Your chat history and settings are kept locally on your client.

Yes, the mod lets you modify vanilla player names in chat, for example removing the triangle brackets. Set this up in the config's name formatting options.

It's lightweight and client-side, so performance impact is minimal. If you use other chat mods, check that their features don't overlap with Chat Patches' options, since two mods editing the same chat element can conflict.
