About this project
What does Compact Chat add?

Compact Chat is a Minecraft mod that removes duplicate messages from your chat with many options for customization.
Compatibility with other mods
Compact Chat aims to be compatible with other mods, especially those which add timestamps to the start of messages.
By default, Compact Chat will not compact messages which start with a timestamp, but that behavior can be configured
by adjusting the "Ignore first characters count" setting within the configuration screen (requires
ModMenu to open!).

If this value is set, Compact Chat will ignore the first characters in the message up until the specified length.
For example, with the setting set to 10 and a message like so:
[20:19:00] <caoimheee> hello!
Compact Chat will see it as:
<caoimheee> hello!
