Steak's Pvp Toggle
by HotestSteak
Steak's Pvp Toggle is a Fabric client mod that removes visual effects and distractions in combat, switchable with one key press.
What it does
The mod targets the visual side of player-versus-player fights. It changes how shields and off-hand items are drawn, lowers the fire overlay so flames do not cover the crosshair, clears distance fog in water, and turns off view bobbing, FOV distortion and hurt camera shake. A built-in gamma override and a fullbright option raise brightness for dark areas, and the pumpkin head overlay can be removed.
Pressing V switches all of these optimizations off at once, so the same client can return to normal visuals for building. The mod is client-side only: only the player installs it, and servers run without it. Files are published for Fabric for 1.21.1, 1.21.4 and 1.21.11, with 1.0.0 for 1.21.11 as the latest build. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source. It requires Cloth Config API and Fabric API, and Mod Menu is optional.
Key features
Shield and off-hand view
Shields and off-hand items are drawn smaller, and the main hand scale can be adjusted to widen the view.
Fire and fog clearing
Fire overlay is lowered so the crosshair target stays visible, and water fog is removed for a clear underwater view.
Brightness controls
A built-in gamma override and a fullbright option raise brightness, with the default set to standard and adjustable up to 1500 percent.
Camera and HUD cleanup
View bobbing, FOV distortion, hurt camera shake and the pumpkin head overlay can each be switched off.
One-key toggle
A single press of V turns every combat optimization off, so the player can switch between building and fighting.

How it compares
Velaris Core is client-side only and published for Fabric 1.21.11 only, under the MIT License, so it is not open source. Extra Sodium Fog Fix is also client-side only and is open source under the MIT License, with Fabric files for 1.21.7 – 1.21.11, and it addresses fog alone. Steak's Pvp Toggle covers several combat effects in one mod and is not open source.
