GhostMode
by lwkSlick
GhostMode is a client-side privacy mod for streamers and content creators that hides personal details and unwanted content on screen.
What it does
Players who stream or record can use GhostMode to keep personal information off screen, such as a username, and to avoid briefly showing a real server IP address by accident. Every option is off by default, so a player turns on only the parts that are needed, and the settings can be changed in-game.
The mod runs on the client alone, so servers do not need it and players join without installing anything on their side. Mod Menu is optional and adds the settings screen to its menu. The latest file is 1.1.0, dated 2026-08-05. GhostMode is open source under the MIT License, and its source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Hide personal information
Hides the username and other personal details so they stay off a recording or stream.
Hide the server address
Keeps a real server IP from appearing on screen when a player connects or changes servers.
Options off by default
Each hiding option starts disabled, so players switch on only the ones they want.
Keybind for the settings screen
A rebindable key, set to J by default, opens the configuration screen during play.

Use cases
Streaming gameplay
A streamer hides the username and server address before going live, so personal details do not show during a broadcast.
Recording tutorials
A creator who films servers keeps identifying information out of the frame without editing the footage afterward.
Who it’s for: Streamers, video creators and anyone who records play sessions and wants to keep personal details out of view. Server owners need do nothing, since the mod is client-side only.
How it compares
MuteIt is a Fabric mod for 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 under the Apache License 2.0, and it is not open source. Hypixel Streamer Mode is a Fabric mod for 1.21.5 – 1.21.11 under the MIT License, and it is not open source. Both are client-side only, like GhostMode, but GhostMode is open source and covers the 1.21.11 build with the same environment.
