Better hidden chat
I don't know my version or loader
Open the Minecraft launcher and look at the profile you play on — it names both, like fabric-loader-1.21.4. The version also shows in the bottom-right corner of the game's main menu.
No loader in the profile name? Then it's plain Minecraft, and these mods won't run — you need Fabric or NeoForge installed first.
Better hidden chat
Hides the chat, whilst allowing to send messages and run commands.
Hide chat with a keybinding, or via command: /hidechat
Configuration is done via /hidechat subcommands:
notifyAsOverlay- toggles the notification between a chat message and an overlay message. Overlay by default.notifyChatShow- toggles whether to send a notification when the chat is shown. On by default.persistency- keep the chat hidden the next time you open the game, if you had it hidden when you closed it. Off by default.showWhileTyping- toggles whether to show the chat when typing if the chat is hidden. On by default.
