Less Clutter
by Ceufi
Less Clutter, a Fabric client mod by Ceufi, shrinks the size of totems, fire effects and shields on screen, so less of the view is covered during play.
What it does
Less Clutter changes how three in-game visuals are drawn: the totem of undying, the fire overlay shown while burning, and the shield held in the off hand. Each is rendered smaller, which leaves more of the screen free for the world around the player. The mod works only on the client, so a server does not need it and players can join a server without installing anything.
The mod is a single-purpose utility from the Management category, with secondary tags for equipment, utility and optimization. Files exist for Fabric only, across nine game versions, and the latest build is 1.0.6 for 1.21.8, published on 2025-09-14. The author reports it was tested on Fabric 1.21.8. The code is not open source; it is released under All rights reserved, so redistribution and modification are not granted.
Key features
Smaller shields
The shield in the off hand is drawn at a reduced size, so it takes up less of the screen while held.
Tiny totems
The totem of undying appears in a smaller form when it activates, reducing the area it covers.
Lowered fire effect
The fire overlay that appears when the player is burning is drawn lower and smaller, keeping more of the view clear.
Client-only changes
All of the visual changes happen on the player's own screen, so the server keeps its normal behavior.

Use cases
Playing with a crowded HUD
Players who keep many on-screen elements open can reduce the space used by the totem, shield and fire visuals.
Combat and survival play
Shields and totems are used in fights, and a smaller display keeps the surrounding area easier to see.
Who it’s for: Players on Fabric who want the totem, shield and fire visuals to take less space on their own screen. It suits single-player worlds and multiplayer servers alike, because the change is client-side.
