biffrunrunrun

biffrunrunrun toggles the visibility of status-effect buff icons shown in the top-right corner of the screen. One key hides them and the same key brings them back, so the icons can be removed when they are not needed without changing the effects themselves. The mod was made in response to late-game modpacks, where the buff list grows long enough to clutter the whole screen.

Holding the H key shows the icons immediately and releasing it hides them again, so a player can check remaining durations on demand. The on or off state is saved to a configuration file, so the preference survives restarts. The mod has no dependencies beyond the game itself and adds very little overhead.

Only the client needs it, since the change is made on the player's own screen and nothing is sent to the server. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 45 release versions, 1.13 – 1.21.10, and the code is released under the Apache License 2.0, though the project is not open source.
