Higher Chat Mod (1.21.8, 1.20.1) by MDLC01 is a small but handy quality-of-life mod that makes a subtle yet impactful change to your user interface. In standard Minecraft, the chat window often overlaps the armor bar and other HUD elements, which can be frustrating especially during PvP or intense survival situations. This mod fixes that by raising the chat position just enough so it no longer interferes with critical gameplay indicators.
While minimal in function, Higher Chat offers a cleaner, more professional HUD layout, ideal for players who value clarity and usability.

Features:
- Relocates Chat Box:
The mod moves the chat display upward so it sits above the armor bar instead of overlapping it. - HUD-Friendly:
Prevents visual clutter by creating more breathing room between UI elements. - Simple and Lightweight:
No settings or configurations needed just install and play. - Client-Side Only:
Compatible with any server and won’t affect gameplay for others.

Why use the Higher Chat Mod?
In fast-paced gameplay, especially PvP or hardcore survival, clarity is everything. Overlapping UI elements like chat and the armor bar can hinder your ability to react quickly. Higher Chat Mod improves visual accessibility by reordering the HUD so essential elements don’t get buried beneath message spam. It’s a simple adjustment that can have a major impact on user comfort and screen awareness.
