Debloatfy

Minecraft's menus are full of things most players never touch. Realms ads. Chat reporting. Telemetry prompts. Feedback and bug-report buttons. Social interaction screens.

If you play singleplayer, on a private server, or inside a curated modpack, none of that is doing anything for you. It is just there — taking up space, and adding buttons you can misclick.

Debloatfy removes it. Client-side, fully optional, and without touching gameplay.

The part other mods get wrong

Plenty of mods will hide a button for you. Almost all of them leave a hole where it used to be.

That happens because Minecraft calculates each button's position once, when the screen is built. Hiding a button afterwards does not tell the rest of the menu to move up and fill the space. So you end up with a gap — which arguably looks worse than the button did.

Debloatfy closes it. Remove a button and the remaining ones reflow to fill the space. Remove an option inside a settings screen and the rows repack so there are no blank slots. It ends up looking like the option was never there in the first place.

Everything it can remove

All 26 items below are independent toggles. Turn on exactly what you want.

Online and social

• Realms Removal — hides Realms buttons, icons and subscription prompts, and stops the background Realms notification poll
• Online Features Removal — blocks navigation to Realms screens even if something else tries to open one, and turns off server listing
• Notifications Removal — hides in-menu notification popups
• Social Interactions Removal — removes the social interactions screen and its entry points
• Telemetry Removal — hides the telemetry menu entry and forces the optional data collection toggle off

Reporting and feedback

• Player Reporting Removal — removes the chat and player reporting screens and their buttons
• Chat Indicators Removal — removes the coloured trust bars and "not secure" tags next to chat messages
• Feedback Removal — removes the "Give Feedback" button
• Bug Report Removal — removes the "Report Bugs" button
• External Links Removal — removes "Learn More" and "Visit Website" buttons
• Promotional UI Removal — removes Minecraft Dungeons, Legends and Marketplace promo entries

Menus and interface

• Menu Visuals Cleanup — removes menu background blur, panorama scroll speed and forced Unicode font
• Version Text Removal — removes the Minecraft and loader version lines from the title screen

• Touchscreen Mode Removal — removes the touchscreen mode toggle
• Operator Items Tab Removal — removes the operator items creative tab and its option

Who this is actually for

Modpack authors. If your pack is singleplayer or built for a private server, Realms, chat reporting and player reporting are dead weight your players will never open. Stripping them makes a pack feel intentional rather than like vanilla with mods stacked on top. Everything ships enabled, so you only have to touch the toggles you want to keep.

Anyone who cares what their client talks to. Telemetry, Realms notification polling and server listing all reach out on their own. Debloatfy switches them off at the setting Minecraft itself checks before doing the work — not just the button in front of it.

People who want a cleaner menu. Title screen, pause menu and options screens all get shorter. Fewer buttons, and no leftover gaps.

Anyone who does not want to commit. It is client-side only, so it works on any server without the server knowing or caring. It changes no blocks, items, recipes or progression, so you can add it to an existing world or pull it back out with nothing lost.

Configuration

Every feature is its own toggle, and they all start enabled.

Install Cloth Config API (optional) and you get a categorised, scrollable, searchable settings screen. Without it, Debloatfy falls back to its own built-in screen. Both give you exactly the same toggles.

Opening the settings:

• NeoForge and Forge — Mods list, pick Debloatfy, click Config
• Fabric — bind a key in Controls under Miscellaneous (ships unbound), or use Mod Menu

Things to know before installing

Client-side only. Do not put it on a server. It will not do anything there.

It does not change gameplay. No blocks, items, recipes, mobs, world generation or progression. It also does not improve FPS — it removes interface elements, not rendering work.

It does not disable multiplayer. Removing the Realms button does not stop you joining normal servers. Chat still works; only the reporting interface and trust indicators are gone.

The number of features depends on your Minecraft version. Two of them rely on code that does not exist in older versions. Rather than showing a toggle that quietly does nothing, Debloatfy hides it:

Cloth Config is not available for Forge on 26.1.2 and 26.2. Its author does not publish a Forge build for those versions, so those two combinations use the built-in settings screen instead. Everything else supports it.

A few requests simply are not possible. Things like the profanity filter, feature flag support and keyboard menu navigation are not real Minecraft options, so there is nothing to remove. Debloatfy will not pretend otherwise.

Questions and answers

Q: Can servers detect this? Could I get banned? A: No. Debloatfy only changes what your own client draws. It sends nothing, modifies no packets and gives no gameplay advantage.

Q: Does removing chat reporting stop me being reported? A: No — and that is worth being clear about. Reporting is handled on Mojang's side. Debloatfy removes the interface you would use to report someone, and the trust indicators next to messages. It does not hide you from moderation and it does not disable chat signing.

Q: Will this boost my FPS? A: No. This is an interface mod. It removes menu clutter and the network calls tied to online features, but it does not touch rendering or the game loop. Pair it with a dedicated performance mod if that is what you need.

Q: Can I re-enable individual features? A: Yes. All 26 are separate toggles and changes take effect right away.

Q: Do I need Cloth Config API? A: No, it is optional. It just gives you a nicer settings screen.

Q: Is it safe on an existing world? A: Yes, and safe to remove later. Debloatfy saves nothing into your world.

Q: Can I put it in my modpack? A: Yes. It is GPL-3.0 — include it, ship it, and set the toggles up however you like.

Q: A button I removed came back after I resized the window. A: It should not. Minecraft rebuilds every widget on resize, alt-tab and fullscreen toggles, and Debloatfy re-applies removals on that path too. If it happens, please report it with your version and loader.

Q: I can still reach Realms somewhere. A: Debloatfy hides Realms entry points and blocks navigation to Realms screens, but it does not strip Realms code out of the game. If you find a reachable entry point still working, that is worth reporting.
