Frequently asked questions

How do I actually see the older chat messages after installing this mod?

Open chat and scroll up with your mouse wheel or the Page Up key to move back through the extended history. The mod keeps the messages loaded, so you just keep scrolling past where vanilla chat would normally cut off.

Does the server need this mod installed too, or is it client-side only?

It's client-side only, so you can join any server without the server owner installing anything. The server still only sends the messages it sends, but your client keeps far more of them in memory.

Why does my chat still only show the normal short history?

Make sure the mod is actually loaded on your client and that you're scrolling far enough up, since the extra history sits above the default view. If another chat mod is installed, it may be overriding the chat window and capping the history.

Will keeping this much chat history hurt my FPS or use a lot of memory?

The history is just stored text, so the performance impact is normally negligible even with tens of thousands of messages. Memory use grows slowly as chat fills up, and it clears when you leave the world or server.
