About this Mod

Compacting

An intelligent compact chat mod for Fabric, inspired by the behavior of same feature from Patcher.

Instead of having a few dozen separate chat messages consisting of the same message, this mod compacts them into one message with a counter showing the amount of times that the message was repeated.

Why Compacting?

This differs from other mods like Chat Patches and Compact Chat in a few ways:

It does one thing, and aims to do that one thing well
Messages are compacted based on how long ago they were last seen, instead of by comparing nearby chat messages
It correctly handles dividers sent across multiple chat messages (like the ones sent by Hypixel):

Configuration

If both Mod Menu and YACL are installed, the mod provides a few configuration options to control when a message should be compacted, as well as an optional setting to remove blank chat messages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Compacting need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Compacting as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Compacting require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Compacting is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
