Just SYBAU
by yungcarlii
With Just SYBAU installed on the client, a player decides which kinds of chat messages appear on screen, while the server keeps sending everything.
What it does
Chat messages are grouped into filter categories, and each category can be shown or hidden on its own. Categories cover user chat from normal players, private messages sent with msg, tell or w, join and leave messages, death and kill messages, and command output such as tellraw or command feedback. Hiding a category is partial, so a player can silence one type while keeping the rest.
Changes apply live, so toggling a category does not require restarting the game. The filtering happens entirely on the client, which lets it work on vanilla servers and on modded servers alike. A server install is still listed as required in the mod's own text, and the mod is released under the CC0 1.0 Universal license, which makes it open source.
Just SYBAU is published for Fabric only, across four release versions 1.21.11 – 26.1.2, with 1.1.0 for 26.1.2 as the latest file. The source code and issue tracker are public.
Key features
Category filters
Chat is split into categories such as user messages, private messages, join and leave notices and deaths, so each can be turned on or off.
Partial chat hiding
A category can be muted while the others stay visible, giving control over how much chat appears on screen.
Live toggles
Filter settings change while playing, with no restart needed to see the effect.
Command output control
Output from commands like tellraw and other command feedback can be hidden or shown through its own category.
