   Since this issue is still bothering me & my players, here's another one, a much simpler alternative:

   Add non-cancellable CommandBlockOutputEvent with getBlock method, which gets called in BaseCommandBlock.java between lines 230 and 231:

   230 BaseCommandBlock.this.lastOutput = Component.literal("[" + TIME_FORMAT.format(ZonedDateTime.now()) + "] ").append(message);
   --- // here
   231 BaseCommandBlock.this.onUpdated();

   And it will be possible to change the output (i.e. add a date) via plugin before block will be updated in the world.

   In this case, it will also add the ability to log messages sent to blocks, in case someone needs it in the future.
