IgnoreX
by Nightmare33n
IgnoreX lets a player hide another player's chat, whispers, skin and name on their own client, without the server knowing.
What it does
On the client, the mod intercepts packets so messages and visibility updates from targeted players are dropped. The ignored player becomes invisible to the local client while the server connection stays intact, so the server never learns that anyone was ignored. A searchable interface and an ignorex command manage the list, and ignored players have their skin replaced with the default Steve skin and their names scrambled.
Only the client needs the mod, so a player can install it on any server or in single-player without server owners doing anything. It is built on Fabric and uses Mixin-based packet interception, with a 1.0.0 file for 26.2 that works on JDK 25. Installing it means dropping the JAR into the .minecraft/mods folder and launching the game. The MIT License covers the code, but the mod is not open source.
Key features
Hidden chat and whispers
Messages and whispers from ignored players are filtered out before they reach the chat window.
Searchable ignore list
A client-side screen lets players search and manage the players they ignore, and the ignorex command does the same from chat.
Default skin for ignored players
Ignored players are shown with the default Steve skin, and their names are scrambled.
Server-transparent blocking
Visibility is changed only on the client, so the server connection and the server itself are unaffected.

Use cases
Quiet public servers
A player on a busy server can mute one or two disruptive members without asking the server staff to act.
Single-player and modpacks
The mod works in single-player and in any modpack for 26.2, since no server support is needed.
Who it’s for: Players who want to block other players on their own screen, on any server, without relying on server moderation.
How it compares
Capez is a client-required mod for 26.2 under the MIT License, but it is not open source and the server may skip it. Friend+ is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 26.2 – 26.3, so it covers a wider range of versions. HeadPulseSSC is client-side only under the MIT License for 26.2 – 26.3 and is not open source, and it is aimed at skins rather than blocking. Links In Chat is server-side only and open source, so it changes the server, not the client.
