# Compacting<\/p>\n
An intelligent compact chat mod for Fabric, inspired by the behavior of same feature from [Patcher].<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
## Why Compacting?<\/p>\n
This differs from other mods like [Chat Patches] and [Compact Chat] in a few ways:<\/p>\n
– It does one thing, and aims to do that one thing well
\n– Messages are compacted based on how long ago they were last seen, instead of by comparing nearby chat messages
\n– It correctly handles dividers sent across multiple chat messages (like the ones sent by Hypixel):
\n <\/p>\n
## Configuration<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
