What it does

Minecraft 1.20.2 has added a configuration phase where the server can reconfigure several features for the client. Unfortunately when entering this configuration phase the clients chat is cleared and the server can not prevent that.

Emphasis mine

Why should it be in the modpack

• It brings familiarity by making hub-based servers work the way they used to
  • Which has use cases like playing with friends across minigames, reporting cheaters etc.
• As evident by mod's description, this cannot be fixed by servers themselves
• It is ironic that Mojang implemented it this way, considering they even nerfed the serverside message deletion feature added in 1.19.1, in 1.19.3.
• It does not work on random servers where it is not needed (like #388 did), it simply makes certain servers work the way they did before
• It does not duplicate the chat preservation features that were added in 1.20.something
• It's very small

Why shouldn't it be in the modpack

• Not on CurseForge
• Not tested
• There is still an open PR for fixing its mixins
• Unlike other simple chat mods, this has a chance of breakage across Minecraft versions, because Mojang keeps tweaking the configuration stage stuff
  • That said, considering its size it is likely easy to update

Mojang fixed it in 1.20.6 and I don't feel like it is worth backporting at this point.
