Chat Minimizer
Allows you to minimize chats with customizability (all chats/command block outputs/player and system chats) while still being able to type.
About this Mod
A small Fabric client mod for Minecraft 1.21.8+ that lets you selectively hide chat:
/minimizechat true all — hide everything until chat is opened.
/minimizechat true chat — hide only player chat / system messages.
/minimizechat true commands — hide only command / command-block outputs.
/minimizechat false — restore vanilla behavior.
/minimizechat backfill off|all|commands|chat — control what buffered lines flush when you open chat.
Settings save in config/chatminimizer.json.

Chat Minimizer server crashes on startup – what to do?
Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (1.21.8). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is Chat Minimizer compatible with fabric?
Chat Minimizer officially supports fabric for Minecraft 1.21.8. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with Chat Minimizer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Chat Minimizer consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
