About this Mod

ChatHider is a lightweight Minecraft mod designed to improve the player’s chat experience by automatically hiding the in-game chat when the player is not actively focused on it. The mod is fully command-based, allowing players to toggle the chat visibility on or off using the /chathider command. This ensures a cleaner screen during gameplay while still providing quick access to chat when needed. ChatHider supports all versions 1.21 and above and is optimized for minimal performance impact, making it a simple yet effective tool for players who prefer an uncluttered interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Chat Hider need to be installed on the Minecraft server?

No. Modrinth marks Chat Hider 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 Chat Hider require?

Use a file for fabric and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 1.21.11, 1.21.10, 1.21.9. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.

Chat Hider 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.
