About this project

What does Hide AFK from Tab List add?

Hide AFK from Tab List

A lightweight client-side Fabric mod that lets you filter out AFK players from the tab list (player list). Perfect for busy multiplayer servers where the player list gets cluttered with inactive players.

Features

  • One-Key Toggle - Instantly show/hide AFK players
  • Tag-Based Detection - Filters players with "AFK" in their display name or tab list entry
  • Lightweight - Minimal performance impact, client-side only
  • Configurable Keybind - Change the toggle key in Minecraft controls

How to Use

  1. Join any multiplayer server
  2. Press F6 (default) to toggle AFK player visibility
  3. AFK players will be hidden from your tab list
  4. Press F6 again to show all players

Requirements

  • Minecraft 1.21.4+
  • Fabric Loader 0.15.0+
  • Fabric API

Configuration

The keybind can be changed in:
Options > Controls > Key Binds > Hide AFK from Tab List

How It Works

The mod scans player entries in the tab list and hides those containing "AFK" (case-insensitive) in their name or display text. This works with most server AFK plugins that add an AFK tag or prefix to player names.

Compatibility

  • Works with most multiplayer servers
  • Compatible with other client-side mods
  • Works with server AFK plugins (EssentialsX, CMI, etc.)
  • Server-side installation not required
