NoOverlays

by booogyboooo

NoOverlays turns off in-game overlays, so the screen-wide visual effects that cover the view stop appearing on the client.

FabricClient-side onlyAll rights reserved1.21.6

What it does

The mod removes screen-wide overlay effects while leaving HUD elements such as the hotbar and crosshair untouched. It is a client-side only mod: only the player's client needs it, and servers run without it. Fabric is the only loader, with a single file for 1.21.6, 1.0.0, released on 2025-06-21 under All rights reserved and not open source.

Key features

  1. Screen-wide overlays disabled

    Full-screen visual effects that tint or cover the view are switched off, giving a cleaner picture.

  2. HUD left unchanged

    Hotbar, crosshair and other HUD elements keep their normal appearance because only screen-wide effects are affected.

  3. Compatible with resource packs

    The mod is described as working with most mods and resource packs, and it changes nothing on the server side.

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.
