Chat Minimizer
by jsydl
Chat Minimizer lets a Fabric client hide the chat window while keeping selected message types visible, and it is limited to 1.21.8.
What it does
Players can collapse the chat area and still see chosen categories of messages. Command block output, system messages from the player system and similar channels stay readable under the mod's settings, so only the messages a player wants to ignore are removed from view. Chat Minimizer runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it needs it, and servers can run without it. It is published for Fabric and 1.21.8 only, under the MIT License, and the source code is public.
