Minecraft Mods Allow you to Disable Mojang's Controversial Chat Reporting   Minecraft: Java Edition's latest update added a new player reporting tool, which lets players report "inappropriate chat messages or risky behaviour" for moderators to review. That seems like a good thing on its own, but many Minecraft players aren't happy that it's available to private servers.      Naturally, as this is Minecraft players have changed what they don't like. There are now mods which remove messages of any information linking them to your player profile.      There are a few mods that appear to accomplish it successfully. No Chat Reports from Aizistral appears to "strip cryptographic signatures", which associate messages that you send with your Minecraft Account. It also allows the Forge, Fabric and Modding APIs. NoEnryption by Doclic does the same thing for Minecraft Spigot server software, and No Chat Reports from TechnicallyCoded is also available for Spigot claims to be "currently the only plugin which can fully replicate the vanilla behaviour" and can be used with multiple languages.      These mods are obviously used at your own risk. They can be used on the server and client side. If you install them on the server side, other servers could block your access to join in the event that they decide to apply secure profiles. This is not a problem. You shouldn't be allowed to use mods to trolling people who want to have moderation.      Mojang's moderating of their game's community seems to be reasonable however it's also understandable why players are worried about private spaces being subjected the process of moderation. Moderation teams fail sometimes and players are worried about being banned from their servers for comments that aren't appropriately contextualized. Even if moderation were infallible I don't believe it's unreasonable for players to wish to leave moderation without knowing what that means.      Mojang addressed feedback from users after the update was tested. "We acknowledge that private servers operate in a way that is independent from Mojang Studios, and many use that independence to create amazing Minecraft innovations that benefit the community," they wrote on the Minecraft website. "But it has always been the case that Minecraft servers of any size have to adhere to the EULA, the Commercial Usage Guidelines, as in addition to our Community Standards. Every player should have a safe Minecraft experience wherever they choose to play."  MINECRAFT PLUGINS     Mojang also has terribly timed the release of this jocular video about Minecraft being updated in a variety of evil ways by a sinister leader:      As much as Mojang might say that players have always been required to adhere to "Community Standards" It's also worth remembering that one of Minecraft's most famous servers is 2b2t. It's a lawless anarchy server known for obscenity trolling, swastikas, swastikas and worse. It's a horrible place, I would not want to play there, and I'm sure Mojang would prefer that not exist but it's also culturally significant and was featured in the Victoria and Albert Museum's Design/Play/Disrupt show in London.
