[HTP] HideThatPlayer
by IKItalia
With HTP installed, a single press of F4 hides every other player in view, which suits players who want a quiet play session on a busy server.
What it does
HTP toggles the visibility of other players on the client. Pressing the default F4 key turns the hiding on or off immediately, and a short on-screen notice confirms the new state each time. Only the local client changes, so the server and the other players see nothing different.
The mod is marketed for content creation and for players on crowded multiplayer servers who want a peaceful, singleplayer-like view. It is a lightweight client utility, and the author states that it can help lower frame-time cost on weaker hardware while many players are rendered. It requires Fabric API, and Simple Voice Chat is an optional dependency.
HTP is released under the MIT License and is open source, with the source code and an issue tracker public. Files target 1.21.1 – 26.2 across 12 release versions, and the latest Fabric file, 2.1.4, is built for 1.21.1.
Key features
Instant toggle
A single key press hides or shows the players around the local view without a command or menu.
On-screen status indicator
A subtle text notice appears after each toggle, showing whether hiding is on or off.
Lower rendering load
With other players hidden, fewer player models are drawn, which the author notes can help frame rates on weaker PCs.
Client-only behavior
Hidden players stay visible to the server and to everyone else, so no server change is needed.
