Compact Chat is a Minecraft mod that removes duplicate messages from your chat with many options for customization.<\/p>\n

\n \"fabric\"
\n \"fabric\"\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

## Compatibility with other mods<\/p>\n

Compact Chat aims to be compatible with other mods, especially those which add timestamps to the start of messages.<\/p>\n

By default, Compact Chat will not compact messages which start with a timestamp, but that behavior can be configured
\nby adjusting the “Ignore first characters count” setting within the configuration screen (requires
\nModMenu to open!).<\/p>\n

![A screenshot of the Compact Chat configuration screen, showing the “Ignore first characters count” option set to ’10’](https:\/\/raw.githubusercontent.com\/caoimhebyrne\/compact-chat\/refs\/heads\/main\/.github\/ignore-first-characters.png)<\/p>\n

If this value is set, Compact Chat will ignore the first characters in the message up until the specified length.<\/p>\n

For example, with the setting set to `10` and a message like so:<\/p>\n

“`
\n[20:19:00] hello!
\n“`<\/p>\n

Compact Chat will see it as:<\/p>\n

“`
\n hello!
\n“`<\/p>\n
