user flags

unblock chat, disable telemetry, and more. configure your safety settings!

by default, this mod simply prevents chat from being disabled by account settings. see below for more configuration information!

this mod works on all versions from 1.18 to 26.1!

how it works

when starting up the game, minecraft gets some information about what privileges your account has, known internally as user flags. this is what controls various account features such as whether you can see chat. this mod simply changes those values to whatever you want!

configuration

this mod creates a `config/user-flags.properties` file which can be used to make local changes to your account's safety settings. simply put true/false next to the values you want to change.

users may want to configure these settings:

- chat allowed — bypasses account chat restrictions - telemetry enabled — disable all minecraft telemetry

developers may want to use these settings for debugging:

- servers allowed — can be disabled (cannot bypass bans) - profanity filter enabled — enables use of `text-filtering-config`

for more information about what all the flags do, check out this document!

default config:

```properties #use true/false to override chat_allowed=true telemetry_enabled= optional_telemetry_available= servers_allowed= realms_allowed= profanity_filter_enabled= ```
