Player Hider (Funnest's Edition)
by Funnestgamer
Player Hider (Funnest's Edition) is a client-side Fabric mod that lets a player hide other players from their own view without changing the game world.
What it does
Hiding is applied only to what the local client renders. Players whose models would clutter a screenshot, a recording or a crowded spawn area disappear for the person who hid them, while every other player keeps playing normally. Gameplay, the server and the world itself are left untouched, so the change has no effect on anyone else.
The author describes the mod as lightweight and aimed at performance: with fewer player models drawn, a client can run more smoothly on busy servers. It suits single-player worlds, busy multiplayer servers and situations where a cleaner screen is wanted. Files are published for Fabric only, across 25 release versions 1.18 – 26.3, and the environment is client-side only, so servers need nothing installed.
The mod is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Its latest Fabric file, 1.0.0, is marked for 26.3 and was published on 2026-09-19. Other Fabric mods in the Optimization category are common, with 493 of them having files for 26.3.
Key features
Hidden players list
Players can be added to a hidden list and removed again whenever the viewer wants them back in view.
Player search
A search field helps find a specific player in a crowded area so that person can be toggled quickly.
Quick visibility toggle
Each player's visibility can be switched on or off without leaving the game or changing any server setting.
Saved preferences
The chosen hidden players are stored, so the same view is kept the next time the client connects.
