Uneffectual
by KingLemming
Uneffectual is a Forge client mod that hides status effect icons the player does not want to see on screen, such as Night Vision.
What it does
The mod lets a player choose which status effect icons stay hidden in the HUD. Each effect is identified by its resource location, and the list is kept in the uneffectual-client.toml file in the config folder. Only the client needs it, so a server can run without it and players can join without installing anything. Uneffectual is released under All rights reserved and is not open source. Files exist for Forge only, across 1.18.2, 1.19.2 and 1.20.1, with 1.2.0 for 1.20.1 as the latest build.
Key features
Hidden effect icons
Status effect icons listed in the config are removed from the screen while the effect stays active.
Config-driven list
Effects are chosen by resource location in uneffectual-client.toml, so the list can be edited without a game screen.
Modpack-safe design
The mod has no required dependencies, so it can be added to modpacks without extra libraries.
