🔐 Permissions & Privacy
CaughtU does not require access to your Minecraft account or external online services to perform its basic chat-logging function.
Chat messages are written to a local file on your computer:
Downloads/caughtu.txt
Because chat can contain personal or sensitive information, do not share your caughtu.txt file publicly without checking its contents first.
If you play on multiplayer servers, remember that other players may not expect their messages to be permanently recorded. Please respect the rules and privacy expectations of the servers and communities you participate in.
⚠️ Disclaimer
CaughtU is provided as-is, without guarantees that every chat message will be captured correctly or that the mod will work with future Minecraft versions.
CaughtU is not affiliated with or endorsed by Mojang Studios or Microsoft.
You are responsible for using the mod appropriately and following the rules of any Minecraft server you play on. Server administrators may have their own policies regarding chat logging and recording.
Use CaughtU responsibly.

Projects on Modrinth are automatically available through a Maven repository for use with JVM build tools such as Gradle. To learn more about the Modrinth Maven API, click here.
Note: When available, you should use the creator's maven repo instead as it will have transitive dependency information that the Modrinth Maven API does not. You may also end up with duplicate dependencies if you use a mix of Modrinth and non-Modrinth Maven repositories for your dependencies, because the group identifier will be different when served through the Modrinth Maven API.
Maven coordinates:
