Removals

Removals is a client-side Fabric mod that cuts out everything in Minecraft that gets in the way of playing, seeing and keeping your FPS up. It is not an optimisation mod — it just strips the noise: no fire overlay, no particles, no rain, no other players' entities and no half of the sound effects.

Everything is controlled from a single menu opened with a keybind: search for what you need, hit All/None, or pick a preset. Settings live in config/removalmod.json.

What you can turn off

• Overlays (11) — fire, water, pumpkin, powder snow, in-wall, spyglass, nausea, vignette, hurt shake, view bobbing
• Effects (6) — darkness, blindness, nausea, fog, effect icons, glowing players
• Particles (16) — all at once or by group: explosions, crits, potions, redstone, smoke & fire, portals, fireworks, sculk, nature
• Sounds (19) — all or by group: explosions, pistons, water & lava, ambience, beacon, XP, item pickup, thunder, bell, anvil, bosses
• Mobs (9) — hostile, passive, water, villagers, golems, pets, bosses, other players
• Entities (20) — dropped items, XP orbs, projectiles, armor stands, item frames, paintings, boats, minecarts, TNT, falling blocks, lightning, display entities
• Block entities (19) — chests, signs, banners, shulkers, beds, skulls, beacons, lecterns, campfires, spawners, pistons, shelves
• Blocks (4) — grass, plants & flowers, leaves
• World (9) — rain & snow, clouds, sky, end sky, sun/moon/stars, nametags, entity shadows, block breaking animation, first-person hand
• Custom — your own list of entity IDs to hide, one per line or comma separated, with or without namespace

Presets

• Off — change nothing
• Light — only the most annoying bits: fire, vignette, some particles and sounds
• Medium — effects, all particles, some sounds, shadows, XP orbs
• Heavy — almost everything visual: sky, rain, clouds, mobs, block entities, leaves
• Max — removes every single thing

Why

• FPS on a weak PC — particles and entity rendering cost more than you think
• PvP and clarity — a clean screen with no fire, shake or visual noise
• Screenshots and building — hide your hand, clouds, rain and nametags in one click
• Annoyances — nausea, view bobbing, pumpkin, thunder and note blocks gone for good

Installation

1. Minecraft 1.21.11 + Fabric Loader
2. Fabric API
3. Drop the .jar into mods
4. The keybind is in Options → Controls → RemovalMod

Fully client-side: nothing is needed on the server and every player keeps their own settings. Keep in mind that on some servers hiding players, mobs or entities can be considered an advantage — check with the staff if unsure.
