Streamer Mode Stream and record Minecraft without leaking your name or location
One switch hides your name, coordinates, server IP and private messages. What you see on screen is exactly what your stream sees, so nothing slips through in a clip or screenshot.
One switch for streaming and recording
Leaked coordinates, a visible server address or a private message on screen are common ways for streamers to be found or raided. Streamer Mode turns on name, coordinate, server-IP and whisper protection in one go, so you do not have to remember four separate settings before you go live.
If you want, Streamer Mode switches itself on while OBS or Streamlabs is running. That check runs on your own computer and is off by default.
These modules change what your screen shows. Other players and the server still see your real name and position.
All 12 privacy modules
Streamer Mode
One switch for name, coordinate, server-IP and whisper protection, optionally automatic while OBS or Streamlabs runs.
NameProtect
Shows an alias instead of your name in chat, the tab list, nametags and scoreboards.
Coord Protect
Offsets or hides your coordinates in the F3 screen, HUDs and chat.
Server IP Hider
Hides server addresses on screen and in your Discord status.
Chat Privacy
Hides or scrambles private messages and whispers.
Screenshot Privacy
F2 screenshots without Cipher overlays, names, coordinates or server IPs. Replaces the old Clean Screenshots setting.
Locale Spoof
Servers always see en_us as your language.
Chat Report Guard
Sends your chat unsigned, so it cannot be used in a chat report. Servers that enforce secure chat will kick you.
Telemetry Blocker
Blocks all vanilla Mojang telemetry. On by default.
Resource Pack Privacy
Never downloads server resource packs; it fakes an accept or a decline instead.
Anti-Fingerprint
Hides that you are modded. Its translation, sign and resource-pack protection now works on every supported Minecraft version.
Log Cleaner
Removes Cipher traces from Minecraft's log files.
Control what servers and Mojang learn
Not every privacy risk is visible on screen. Servers can ask your client for its language, probe for installed mods, and push resource packs, and Minecraft itself sends telemetry to Mojang. Locale Spoof, Anti-Fingerprint, Resource Pack Privacy and Telemetry Blocker cover those cases.
Chat Report Guard goes one step further and sends your messages unsigned. Use it only on servers without secure-chat enforcement.

Streamer Mode FAQ
Does Streamer Mode turn on automatically when I go live?
It can. Streamer Mode has an option to switch on by itself while OBS or Streamlabs is running. That option is off by default.
Does NameProtect change my name on the server?
No. NameProtect only changes what your own screen shows: an alias instead of your name in chat, the tab list, nametags and scoreboards. Other players and the server still see your real name.
Why does Chat Report Guard get me kicked on some servers?
Chat Report Guard sends your chat unsigned, so it cannot be used in a chat report. Servers that enforce secure chat require signed messages and will kick you while it is on.
Does the panic key turn off the privacy modules?
No. The panic key switches off every other module but leaves your privacy protections on, so a quick panic press never reveals your name or location on stream.
