Chat Hider
by Ambiencee
While the player is not focused on the in-game chat, Chat Hider collapses that window, keeping the view uncluttered during play.
What it does
Chat Hider folds the chat panel away once focus moves elsewhere, and brings it back the moment the player clicks into it again. A command lets players switch chat visibility off, which keeps the screen uncluttered while still giving quick access when it is needed. Chat Hider is a Fabric mod for Minecraft 1.21 – 1.21.11 and is client-side only, so only the player's own client needs it. It is released under All rights reserved and is not open source.
