Chat Hide X
by imRyzek
Chat Hide X is a Fabric client mod that lets a player hide the chat box and show it again with a single key press.
What it does
Players can hide the chat whenever they want, which keeps the screen clean and cuts down on distractions during play. The author describes it as a lightweight option that adds little overhead, so the game feels smoother without extra load. A status message shows whether the mod is currently enabled, meaning chat is visible, or disabled, meaning chat is hidden.
Only the client needs the mod; a server does not have to install it, and players can use it alongside vanilla servers. Chat Hide X is published for Fabric alone, with builds that cover 1.21.10 – 26.2 and the latest file, 1.0.1, made for 26.2. The license is All rights reserved, so the code is not open source.
Key features
One-key chat toggle
Chat can be hidden or shown quickly, with a status message that displays the current state of the mod.
Hidden chat during play
Server chat spam and other messages can be kept off the screen, leaving the view free of text.
Clean recordings
Creators filming videos, scripted scenes or cinematic content can remove the chat box from the frame.
Minimal overhead
The author notes a near-zero performance cost, with the mod kept deliberately small.
