Hide Coordinates
by JowhJy
Hide Coordinates changes the positions a server sends to players, so the coordinates shown in the game differ from the real ones, and it runs on the server alone.
What it does
The mod is a server-side Fabric addon that offsets the coordinates a server sends to clients. Positions entered in the current world, including those shown after a join, a teleport, a portal trip or a respawn, are displayed with an offset rather than the real location. The default offset is 0, 0, and the server can change it or set it per chunk, which makes the real position hard to infer from the coordinates alone.
The server also limits what client-side mods can learn. The world border is only sent to players as a wall, which keeps client mods from working out the center of the border from the offset. The offset is reset to 0, 0 on death and on dimension change, and it always resets the spawn chunk to 0, 0. Because the world border is only shown as a wall, a growing or shrinking border can look odd, and some packets may be missed when an offset is in use. Hide Coordinates is loaded from Fabric, has no required dependencies, and is published for 1.21.1 and up to 26.2 across 10 release versions.
Key features
Offset player positions
Coordinates sent to clients are shifted, so the position displayed differs from the real one.
Admin commands
Admins can read their own offset, set it to a chosen position such as 0, 0, or disable it for a chunk.
Protected world border
The border is sent as a wall only, so client-side mods have no direct way to deduce its center.
Honor-system gamerule alternative
Servers can hide coordinates on the server side, instead of relying on the reducedDebugInfo gamerule, which a client mod can get around.

Use cases
