Compact Chat

• Made the list of "common message separators" configurable. Common message separators can now be added through the configuration screen, and if the "ignore common message separators" option is enabled, messages containing them will not be compacted.

Compact Chat has been rewritten from the ground up for v3.0 with new features, performance improvements, and many bug fixes.

If you have any issues, feel free to report them on [GitHub](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/issues), and as always, this release can be downloaded on [Modrinth](https://modrinth.com/mod/compact-chat).

### ⬅️ Version Support

Compact Chat now supports 1.21.1 and higher, and will aim to support these older versions for as long as possible.

Previously, whenever a new Minecraft version released that broke Compact Chat, compatibility would've been dropped for that version. Now, Compact Chat aims to be compatible with as many versions as possible.

Older Minecraft versions may be supported in the future if there is demand, create a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/issues) if you're interested in a particular version!

### 🦊 NeoForge Support

Compact Chat now supports NeoForge alongside Fabric. NeoForge support will be maintained for the same versions as the Fabric mod (1.21.1 and higher).

### 🫂 More options for compatibility with other mods

Compact Chat aims to be compatible with other mods and this release improves that with a new feature!

A setting called "Ignore first characters count" has been added, which lets you specify how many characters Compact Chat should ignore when compacting a message.

For example, with a count of 10, Compact Chat would see [20:19:00] <caoimheee> hello! as <caoimheee> hello!.


This setting should improve compatibility with most mods that add timestamps to the start of messages, while not breaking any existing functionality.

• Added support for 1.20.6 and higher ([#31](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/issues/31))
• Fixed a regression for a bug where messages which have timestamps added to them by other mods would not be compacted (by @70CentsApple, [#32](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/pull/32))

• Fixed an issue where messages that have been sent over 100 times would not get compacted into a single message. ([#30](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/issues/30))
• Added the ability to configure the maximum occurrences amount.
• Any message which has an occurrence count above this amount (e.g. 100) will be compacted into one message which says 100+.

• Fixed an issue where long messages being spammed would cause the game to lag more than it does in vanilla. ([#27](https://github.com/caoimhebyrne/compact-chat/issues/27))
• Message occurrences stop incrementing after 100 occurrences, it will say 100+ for anything above 100.

<details>
<summary>Minor performance improvements and under-the-hood changes.</summary>

• Messages are now identified by their string contents, and not their Text instance, meaning that the mod should be faster in general - but this may not be that obvious.

• We have added a cache to Minecraft’s code which splits a single text message into multiple lines to be displayed, this was an expensive operation, and if it was being run for the same message multiple times (which is the case with Compact Chat, but not in vanilla, due to us removing duplicate messages), it will cause a lot of lag. This cache’s entries are cleared if the entry has not been accessed for over a minute.
