About this Mod

Tray Mod lets you instantly minimize Minecraft to the Windows system tray with a single keypress, keeping your world running smoothly in the background without cluttering your taskbar. It’s perfect for AFKing, multitasking, or playing on a single monitor - your game continues running normally while the window is hidden and sounds are temporarily paused.

The mod includes a tray icon with click‑to‑restore support and a clean keybinding (default: M) for quick toggling.
Built for stability and simplicity, Tray Mod requires Fabric API (tested on 0.141.3+1.21.11) and runs on Minecraft 1.21.11 with Fabric Loader 0.18.4.

Whether you're AFK farming, switching between tasks, or just want Minecraft out of the way without closing it, Tray Mod makes the game run in the background for you.
