Hide Spectators

by carmello

Hide Spectators changes how spectator-mode players appear in the player list (TAB) on the client, and lets each player choose the display.

What it does

Players in spectator mode are normally shown in the TAB list in italic or gray text. This mod can remove spectators from that list entirely, or show them as ordinary players with normal names. The options live in a configuration file, so no commands are needed to change the behavior.

The mod is a small quality-of-life addition for players who want a cleaner list, such as streamers and YouTubers recording a session. It runs only on the client, so only the player who installs it sees the change, and a server does not need it. Files are published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, with 1.21.1 and 1.21.10 as the game versions covered.

Key features

  1. Hide spectators from TAB

    Spectator-mode players can be removed from the player list entirely, so only active players remain visible.

  2. Show spectators as normal players

    Spectators can instead be listed like other players, without italic or gray name formatting.

  3. Configuration file

    Behavior is adjusted through a simple config file rather than in-game commands.

Who it’s for: The mod suits individual players, streamers and YouTubers who want control over how spectator-mode players are shown in their own player list.
