Optihide

by danixx

Optihide lets a player hide every other player on screen with one key press, and show them again by pressing the same key.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU General Public License v3.0 only1.20 – 1.21

What it does

Pressing H toggles player visibility in real time, so a player can clear a crowded spawn or busy build area without leaving the world. The keybind is set to H by default and can be changed in the controls menu.

Optihide runs on the client alone, so only the player who installs it is affected and servers need nothing. Files are published for Fabric only, for eight release versions 1.20 – 1.21, and 1.0.0 for 1.21 is the latest file. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only and is not open source.

Hide The Players is a Fabric client mod of the same kind and covers 1.19 – 1.21, a wider range than Optihide. KeybindHider also runs on the client, but it targets Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across 1.20.1 – 26.2, and its license is Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 rather than the GPL.

Key features

  1. Hide and show players

    One key toggles the visibility of all other players on screen, with no menu or command needed.

  2. Default H keybind

    The toggle starts on H and can be rebound in the controls settings.

  3. Real-time switching

    Visibility changes the moment the key is pressed, so a player can switch back and forth while playing.

  4. Light footprint

    The behavior is kept simple to limit the cost of hiding and showing players during play.

Use cases

Crowded spawns

A player standing among many others at a busy spawn can hide them to see the area around their own character.

Screenshots and builds

Hiding other players clears the view for screenshots or for checking a build near a crowd of onlookers.

Who it’s for: Players who play on busy multiplayer servers or in shared worlds and want a quick way to clear other players from view on their own screen.

Questions

Does Optihide need to be installed on the server?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.

Which loader does Optihide support?

Optihide is published for Fabric only. Forge and NeoForge players need a different mod for the same purpose.

Can the H key be changed?

Yes. The keybind defaults to H and can be rebound in the controls settings.
