Annoying Stuff Remover
by ctrlaltmilk
Annoying Stuff Remover is a client-side Forge and NeoForge mod that turns off several vanilla prompts, screens and tutorial elements, and it is open source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0.
What it does
Annoying Stuff Remover targets a set of vanilla Minecraft features that some players find intrusive. Its author notes list a first-start accessibility onboarding screen, a multiplayer warning screen, tutorial toasts, a recipe book prompt and an experimental features warning, and the mod removes these alongside a few other small vanilla annoyances.
The mod only needs to be installed on the player's client. A server does not need it, and a player joining a server without the mod simply sees the vanilla behavior. Files are published for Forge and NeoForge, with builds covering 1.20.1 – 26.1 and the latest NeoForge file targeting 26.1.
Because the code is open source, the source repository and issue tracker are linked from its public pages. The mod was first published on 2024-09-22 and last updated on 2026-05-24.
Key features
Accessibility onboarding removal
The first-start accessibility onboarding screen is skipped, so the game opens directly to the main menu.
Multiplayer warning screen removal
The warning screen shown before joining multiplayer servers is no longer displayed.
Tutorial toast suppression
Tutorial toasts that pop up during early play are hidden from the screen.
Recipe book and experimental warning removal
The recipe book prompt and the experimental features warning are no longer shown to the player.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Returning players
Players who already know the game can skip first-run prompts and get straight to their worlds.
Frequent multiplayer joiners
Players who connect to servers often no longer see the multiplayer warning each time.
Who it’s for: Players who want fewer onboarding prompts and warnings in the vanilla client. It changes only the client, so it suits single-player and multiplayer players alike.
