No Chat Reports Mod FAQ

Open the chat and look for a visual indicator next to your messages, or check the mod's config screen for the current protection status. If signatures are being stripped, your messages will appear unsigned to other clients, and the Social Interactions screen will no longer offer a report option against you.

On the client alone, the mod refuses to send signed messages and disables telemetry, but the server may still enforce signing and reject or modify your chat. On the server alone, the server stops demanding signatures and won't accept reports, protecting all players regardless of their client. Installing on both sides gives the most consistent behavior.

This usually happens when the client and server disagree about whether messages should be signed — for example, a vanilla server still requiring signatures while your client refuses to send them. Make sure both sides run the mod, or set the server to not require signatures so unsigned messages are accepted.

No. With the mod active, the reporting option in the Social Interactions screen is disabled because messages no longer carry the signatures the reporting system needs. This applies to everyone on a server running the mod, not just you.

No. Server operators and plugins can still see your chat through normal server-side logging and chat plugins. The mod only removes the cryptographic signature that links a message to your Mojang/Microsoft account for the reporting system.

Chat plugins that rely on signed messages or the vanilla reporting pipeline may behave differently, and some may show errors or fall back to unsigned chat. Most basic chat formatting and chat mods work fine, but test on your setup if you rely on signature-aware features.

The mod is lightweight — it mainly intercepts message signing and telemetry, so it shouldn't cause noticeable lag on its own. If you see performance issues, they're more likely from other mods or the server, not from signature stripping.

The mod disables the Snooper automatically when it's active on the client, so you don't need a separate toggle. If you want to confirm, check the mod's config or the vanilla telemetry setting to see that data collection is off.

Yes. If the server runs the mod, it will accept unsigned messages from clients without the mod, so vanilla players can still chat normally. If only your client has it and the server doesn't, your messages may be rejected or altered by the server's signing requirements.

In singleplayer it works as a client-side mod and disables telemetry and signing, though reporting isn't a concern there. On Realms you can only control your client side, so protection depends on whether the Realm itself enforces signatures — you can't install the mod on the Realm server.

No, but installing it only on your client means the server can still enforce signing and reporting for other players. For full protection, install it on both the client and the server so signatures are stripped at both ends.

If the server doesn't have the mod, it can still accept and forward signed messages from other players, and those players can report you through the Social Interactions screen. You need the mod on the server as well to fully block reporting.

Most chat-related mods work fine, but mods that rely on message signatures (like some chat encryption or verification mods) may conflict. If chat features stop working, check whether the other mod depends on signed messages.

No, the mod only changes how chat messages are signed and sent, so it has no noticeable impact on server tick rate or memory usage. Any lag you see is unrelated to this mod.

Yes, the mod's config lets you toggle telemetry (Snooper) and chat signing separately. You can disable telemetry while leaving message signing enabled if you prefer.

That's expected when the mod is active on your client — it strips signatures before sending. Other players will see your messages as unsigned, which is what prevents them from being linked to your account.

It works on your client side, but you can't install it on a Realm server since you don't control the server software. This means reporting may still be possible through the Realm's own systems.

Chat signing and reporting will return to normal once the mod is gone, and any messages sent while it was installed remain unsigned. No permanent changes are made to your account or world.

Yes, separate builds exist for both Fabric and Forge, so download the one matching your modloader. Don't mix them — using the wrong build will cause the mod not to load.
