⬇ Download on CurseForgeThe author built this one for Minecraft 1.21.1 on NeoForge. On other versions it may install and then do nothing.
HideTab is a lightweight utility mod that completely hides the in-game player tablist.
It is designed for RP servers, mini-games, or any experience where player anonymity and immersion are important.
Features
The mod fully hides the player tablist so players cannot view online names or player counts.
It works entirely client-side and requires no configuration.
It remains compatible with most modpacks and server environments.
Impact on User Experience
The removal of the tablist greatly improves immersion by making the game feel more realistic and less UI-focused.
It prevents metagaming since players can no longer check who is online through the tab key.
It enhances RP experiences, mystery maps and custom gameplay by ensuring that player identification depends on in-game actions rather than menus.
