About this Mod

This mod ensures that your chat remains hidden unless you manually open it, and only functions when the mod is toggled.

I found this mod convienent for streaming, as it removes the hassle of having to go into Options > Chat Settings and manually toggle the chat on and off whenever I need it. It's also really convenient for clipping footage for montages, preventing the chat from ruining the clip!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Better Chat Hide need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Better Chat Hide as unsupported on the server side. Install it only in your local Minecraft mods folder. Your server can remain unchanged unless the mod page lists an additional dependency.

Which version and loader does Better Chat Hide require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Better Chat Hide is not working – what should I check?

First check the Minecraft version, loader version and required dependencies. Put the .jar file in your local .minecraft/mods folder and remove older duplicates. Because this mod is client-side, adding server RAM will not fix it.
