HidePlayer
Selectively hiding players from various server interfaces
About this Mod
Hide Player
A Minecraft server mod that allows selectively hiding players from various server interfaces.
Supported Versions
Because I just wrote it for my own use and I'm not sure if anyone else would need it, currently only a few versions are supported.
You can find supported versions in the Versions section. Usually the latest Minecraft version will be supported.
If you need support for other versions, feel free to open an issue or, if possible, a pull request.
Features

- System messages (join, leave, death, achievements)
- In-game visibility (player model, chat, tab list, social screen)

Maybe useful for:

- Mini-game development
- Server events
- Staff activities

HidePlayer 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 (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.
Is HidePlayer compatible with fabric?
HidePlayer officially supports fabric for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.
Server lagging with HidePlayer – how to optimize performance?
Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if HidePlayer 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.
