HideHitbox
by Nearkoyo
HideHitbox is a Forge client mod that keeps entity hitboxes out of the debug view opened with F3 and B.
What it does
Once the mod is loaded, entity hitboxes stay hidden during gameplay without any manual step. Players who want a cleaner view while using the F3 debug screen can leave the overlay on without having hitboxes drawn over the world. The mod checks the setting on every game tick, so hitboxes remain hidden for the whole session rather than only after a reload.
HideHitbox is a lightweight, simple mod with no screens or settings to manage. It is client-side only, so a server does not need it and servers are not affected by its behavior. Players install the build for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge and launch the game using a Forge profile, and the mod then works automatically. Files are published for Forge only, for 1.20.1, with 0.0.1 as the latest file, released 2025-10-29. The mod is All rights reserved and is not open source.

Per-tick enforcement
The hiding runs every game tick, so hitboxes stay hidden for the whole session.
Lightweight design
The mod is small and does one job, adding little overhead to the client.
No server footprint
Because it runs only on the client, the mod does not change what happens on a server.
