About this Mod
BetterChatReborn
This mod compacts duplicate messages, removes blank messages, expands the chat history up to 16384, disables telemetry, ignores name account bans and always allows chat. All features are toggleable.
Client-side only; it does not need to be installed on the server and changes nothing
for other players.
Features
| Feature | Description | Applies |
|---|---|---|
| Compact duplicate messages | Repeated chat messages collapse into a single line with an (x2), (x3) … counter instead of flooding your chat. The most recent copy is moved to the bottom and its count is updated. |
Instantly |
| Remove blank messages | Messages whose visible text is empty (after stripping formatting) are dropped before they ever reach chat. | Instantly |
| Expand chat history | Raises the stored chat backlog from the vanilla 100 lines up to 16,384 (sent-history, message queue, and recent-chat ring buffer ). | After restart |
| Bypass chat restrictions | Always reports chat, multiplayer, and Realms as allowed, ignores account name bans, and disables telemetry sessions. | After restart |
Toggling Compact duplicate messages or Remove blank messages takes effect
immediately. Expand chat history and Bypass chat restrictions hook low-level
client state that is built once at startup, so they require a restart to change.
