About this Mod

It hides selected REI interface elements, such as overlay buttons and hint popups, so the inventory screen looks cleaner and more polished. The hidden elements are not removed permanently: they can be temporarily restored at any time with a configurable keybind in the game’s Controls settings.

By default, the interface buttons are hidden and no key is assigned. If you want to bring the hidden buttons back temporarily, open the Controls menu and assign a keybind for REI Clean Overlay.

This is especially useful for modpacks where REI is already configured by the pack author and players do not need quick access to every REI overlay button during normal gameplay.

Notes

By default, the selected REI interface buttons are hidden and the restore keybind is not assigned.
Setting Up the Mod Activation Keybind
This mod does not change recipes, item entries, or REI functionality itself. It only adjusts selected interface elements in the REI overlay.

REI Clean Overlay server crashes on startup – what to do?

REI Clean Overlay officially supports forge for Minecraft 1.20.1. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with REI Clean Overlay – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if REI Clean Overlay consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
