Barless

by BouncingElf10

Barless removes the title bar from the Minecraft window on Fabric, giving the game a cleaner top edge while keeping the window movable and resizable.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19 – 26.3

What it does

With the bar gone, the operating system's close, minimize and maximize controls appear only when the pointer hovers near the top edge of the window. Moving and resizing the window still works as before, so the window can be dragged, resized and arranged alongside other windows without the default frame.

Barless is a client-side only mod, so only the player's game needs it and servers run without it. It is built for Fabric, uses TimelessLib as a required dependency, and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only; the source code and issue tracker are public. Files cover 1.19 – 26.3 across 25 release versions, and the latest Fabric build, 1.4 for 26.3, was published on 2026-09-15 after the mod's first release on 2026-06-15.

The mod suits players who prefer a minimal window frame, including those who keep the game in a tiled or multi-window desktop layout. It does not change gameplay or the game's rendering, and it has no configuration screen described by its author.

Key features

  1. Hidden title bar

    The window title bar is removed, so the game area reaches the top edge of the window.

  2. Hover-revealed controls

    The system window controls appear when the pointer moves near the top of the window and hide again afterward.

  3. Preserved window behavior

    Dragging, resizing and arranging the window with other windows keep working without the standard frame.

Use cases

Minimal desktop layout

Cleaner screenshots

Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want a plainer window frame for the Minecraft client. Servers and players who do not use the mod are unaffected.
