No Chat Reports changes the creator-described handling of cryptographic chat signatures and reporting-related behavior in Minecraft Java. It is not a chat theme, moderation policy, anonymity service, or guarantee against warnings, sanctions, bans, or other account consequences.
Start with the side where the mod will run
| Placement | Creator-described behavior | Boundary to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Client only | The client changes how its public key and message signatures are supplied. | The server may require signed behavior or limit chat-related functions; exact 26.2 results were not tested. |
| Server only | The server changes signatures before relaying player messages. | Unmodified clients may still display unsigned or “not secure” messaging. |
| Client and server | Both sending and server verification/relay behavior are changed. | Every participant still remains subject to server rules and applicable platform policies. |
The creator also documents options that can require the mod on the opposite side. Read the current configuration documentation before treating “optional on both sides” as one universal deployment mode.
Choose the exact Minecraft 26.2 file
The current stable 26.2 family is version 2.20.2. Older 2.20.1 entries remain in the history and should not be presented as current.
| Loader | Release label | Dependency note |
|---|---|---|
| Fabric | Fabric-26.2-v2.20.2 |
Fabric API required; Cloth Config and Mod Menu optional |
| Forge | Forge-26.2-v2.20.2 |
No required project relation listed; Cloth Config API Forge is optional |
| NeoForge | NeoForge-26.2-v2.20.2 |
No required project relation listed; Cloth Config API is optional |
Do not install the Fabric file in a Forge or NeoForge profile. The project page lists Quilt historically, but this source check established the current 26.2 release matrix only for the three rows above.
Separate technical behavior from policy
- Read the server's current mod, chat, and moderation rules before joining.
- Record whether No Chat Reports is installed on the client, server, or both.
- Do not label a server “safe” solely because a mod indicator appears.
- Do not promise anonymity or unlinkability; MineBrush did not inspect packets, keys, telemetry, proxies, or identity data.
- Do not describe the mod as permission to violate Minecraft Community Standards or a private server's rules.
A signature change and a moderation decision answer different questions. This article documents the creator's technical scope; it does not predict how Mojang, a server owner, a proxy, a plugin, or another service will enforce policy.
Run a controlled acceptance check
- Match Minecraft 26.2, the loader, No Chat Reports 2.20.2, and required dependencies.
- Use a controlled server whose owner has approved the test.
- Record the client-only, server-only, or two-sided configuration.
- Test ordinary chat, chat-related commands, reconnect behavior, and the first visible warning.
- Repeat with an unmodified client only if the server policy allows it.
- Stop at the first unexpected enforcement or account message; preserve the exact text without sharing private account data.
Interpret outcomes without overclaiming
| Observed result | What it supports | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|
| The mod loads | The selected local tuple starts | Server compatibility or policy approval |
| Ordinary chat works | That message path worked in that test | All commands, proxies, Realms, or report flows work the same way |
| The server shows a mod/status indicator | The indicator was displayed | Anonymity, safety, or immunity from enforcement |
| A warning or restriction appears | The tested server enforced a boundary | A bug, ban, or universal outcome without further evidence |
