VO: Bed Chat Hider

🌙 Bed Chat Hider

"Rest in Peace. A Serene, Distraction-Free Sleeping HUD for Minecraft."

---

📖 Introduction

In vanilla Minecraft, climbing into bed immediately covers your screen with an intrusive, opaque chat overlay, an awkward dark gray vignette, and a giant "Leave Bed" button smack in the middle of your view. If you are playing on an active multiplayer server or realm, sleeping becomes a chaotic barrage of rolling chat messages, server announcements, and spam that completely shatters your nighttime immersion. Even in singleplayer, you can't simply gaze out your bedroom window at the starry sky, moon, or nocturnal landscape while resting.

Bed Chat Hider restores tranquility to your nighttime slumber under the Vanilla Outsider design philosophy. It intelligently intercepts the client-side sleeping screen state, automatically suppressing the obtrusive chat box, background tint, and clutter the instant your head hits the pillow. With smooth alpha-fading transitions, intuitive one-key chat recall, and zero performance overhead, you can finally enjoy a peaceful, cinematic sleeping experience without missing important server communications.

1 Jar 1 Version Policy: I build 1 dedicated JAR for each Minecraft version (e.g. MC 26.2, MC 26.3). Please download the exact build that matches your Minecraft installation. Client-Side Sovereignty: 100% client-side mod. You can install Bed Chat Hider on your client and join ANY vanilla, Fabric, Paper, Spigot, or Forge server without requiring the mod on the server!

✨ Features

🔕 Automatic Sleeping Screen Decoupling

• Instant Overlay Suppression: The moment your player entity enters the sleeping pose, Bed Chat Hider smoothly detaches the foreground chat rendering layer. No more walls of green text, automated server greetings, or trading chatter obscuring your screen.
• Cinematic Horizon View: Unlocks your field of view so you can watch rain showers, lightning strikes, passing clouds, or tranquil bedroom interior lighting while waiting for morning to arrive.
• Zero World-Tick Impact: Hooks directly into client GUI rendering pipeline via targeted Mixins, executing in $O(1)$ constant time with zero heap allocations on the render loop.

⌨️ On-Demand Chat Recall (Press Enter or T)

• Fluid Keyboard Interception: Need to reply to a friend while resting? Simply press Enter or T (or your custom chat keybind) to immediately reveal the chat interface and typing bar without leaving your bed.
• Seamless Auto-Dismiss: Once your message is sent, or when you press Escape, the chat interface gracefully fades back out into serenity while you remain cozy in bed.
• No Accidental Ejections: Prevents clumsy misclicks on the vanilla "Leave Bed" button when trying to interact with chat.

🎚️ Configurable HUD Ergonomics & Button Auto-Hide

• Minimalist "Leave Bed" Button: Configure whether the prominent vanilla button remains visible, fades out after a customizable delay (e.g. 3 seconds), or is hidden entirely in favor of the standard Shift sneak-to-wake mechanic.
• Adjustable Sleep Vignette: Soften or eliminate the harsh vanilla dark gray sleeping tint for clean, vibrant nocturnal vistas.
• Multiplayer Sleeper Count Integration: Plays nicely with multiplayer percentage sleeping mods (Harbor, Sleep Warp, VanillaTweaks) by keeping essential sleep progression notifications clean and readable.
