Chat Minimizer
Allows you to minimize chats with customizability (all chats/command block outputs/player and system chats) while still being able to type.
⬇ Download on ModrinthA small Fabric client mod for Minecraft 1.21.8+ that lets you selectively hide chat:
/minimizechat true all — hide everything until chat is opened.
/minimizechat true chat — hide only player chat / system messages.
/minimizechat true commands — hide only command / command-block outputs.
/minimizechat false — restore vanilla behavior.
/minimizechat backfill off|all|commands|chat — control what buffered lines flush when you open chat.
Settings save in config/chatminimizer.json.
