No Telemetry
Disable the telemetry introduced in 21w38a
About this Mod
Disables the usage data collection, aka telemetry, introduced in Minecraft 1.18 (snapshot 21w38a).
The feature previously existed from Minecraft 1.3.1 to 1.12 as Snooper, but was removed in 1.13 (snapshot 18w21a) as it did not comply with European Union's General Data Protection Regulations.
In 1.18 it was re-added. You would expect it would be done in a more compliant way... However, from my understanding of GDPR, this is even less compliant than the original Snooper was.
Instead of being anonymous/pseudonymous (at least, the ids in the snooper screen don't match my user id), it now sends the XUID, your Xbox user id, in plain text... which means this data can be traced back to your user.
It now sends the following data when loading a singleplayer world or connecting to a multiplayer server:
- launcher identifier
- user identitifer/XUID (this can be used to identify you)
- client session id (changes on restart)
- world session id (changes per world load, to be reused for later events)
- game version
- operating system name and version
- Java runtime version
- if client or server is modded (same information as on crash logs)
- server type (single player, Realms or other)
- game mode
This time Mojang did not add a toggle for interested users to turn it off, though, so this mod fixes that by disabling the telemetry entirely.

Does No Telemetry need to be installed on the Minecraft server?
No. Modrinth marks No Telemetry 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 No Telemetry require?
Use a file for fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt and your exact Minecraft version. Supported versions include 26.2, 26.1.2, 26.1.1. Files for different loaders are not interchangeable.
No Telemetry 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.
