More Chat History Mod FAQ

The mod extends your chat history automatically once it's installed — there's no toggle or config option to enable. Just launch the game and your chat will retain far more messages than vanilla's default.

You can scroll back through up to 16,384 messages, compared to vanilla's limit of 100. Use the mouse scroll wheel or Page Up/Page Down while the chat is open to move through older messages.

This usually means the mod isn't actually loading — check that it's in your mods folder and matches your game version. If you're on a server, some server-side chat plugins can also interfere with client-side history.

It works on both, since the history is stored client-side. You'll keep the extended history on any server you join, as long as the mod is installed on your client.

The impact is minimal because it only stores text, not rendering. You may notice slightly longer load times or memory use if you scroll through very old messages, but normal gameplay is unaffected.

The mod itself doesn't add a search box — it just keeps more messages available. You scroll manually through the history to find what you're looking for.

No, chat history is kept in memory for the current session only. Once you quit and relaunch, the history starts fresh.

It generally works alongside most chat-related mods, but mods that also change chat rendering or history limits may conflict. If you see issues, test with only this mod enabled first.

Open chat and scroll up — all messages sent while you were away are still there, up to the extended limit. You don't need to do anything special to capture them.

Chat history is per-session and per-connection, so switching servers or reconnecting can clear it. This is expected behavior, not a bug with the mod.
