Stop abusing F3
by CookieJ4R
Stop abusing F3 is a Fabric adventure mod that hides the debug screen's coordinate, chunk and slime chunk readouts so players can keep the world in view.
What it does
Pressing F3 normally fills the screen with coordinates, chunk information and a slime chunk readout. This mod removes those entries from the debug menu and adds a compass to the game screen instead, so a player who wants location data gets it without the full overlay. The mod is aimed at players who open F3 mostly to check a position and find the rest of the screen distracting.
The mod runs on Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.4 and needs Fabric API. A server running it needs every connecting player to have it too. The only published file is version 1.0.0 for 1.20.4, dated 2024-03-16, and the mod is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source.
Key features
Cleaner debug screen
The F3 overlay no longer lists coordinates, chunk details or slime chunk information, leaving the view of the world uncovered.
Compass in place of the readout
A compass appears where the overlay data used to be, showing direction without a block of text on screen.
Slime chunk indicator removed
The slime chunk readout is taken out of the debug menu along with the other chunk entries.

What the author says
Opening F3 to check my coords all the time takes me out of the game more than Id like to admit. Saf3 removes the coordinates and chunk info from the debug menu and adds them to the compass and the new chunkometer (which also shows slime chunks) respectively to keep you immersed in your beautiful world, instead of…
