Ever since Minecraft 1.18, Mojang quietly re-introduced telemetry that sends your Xbox user ID (XUID) in plain text — meaning your gameplay data can be traced directly back to you. No Telemetry Mod by kb1000 puts you back in control by completely disabling this data collection, something Mojang chose not to offer as a toggle. Downloaded over 2.5 million times across Modrinth alone, this lightweight mod has become a go-to privacy tool for players who'd rather keep their gaming habits to themselves.
Key Features
- Complete telemetry removal — Disables all usage data collection that Minecraft sends when loading singleplayer worlds or connecting to multiplayer servers
- XUID protection — Prevents your Xbox user ID from being transmitted in plain text, keeping your identity unlinked from gameplay data
- Multi-loader support — Works across Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, and Quilt, so you can use it regardless of your modding setup
- Set-and-forget design — No configuration needed; install it and telemetry is disabled automatically
- Historical context — Addresses the telemetry system that replaced the old "Snooper" feature (1.3.1–1.12), which was removed for GDPR non-compliance before being re-added in a less privacy-friendly form

FAQ
What data does Minecraft telemetry collect?
Minecraft's telemetry system sends usage data when you load a singleplayer world or connect to a multiplayer server. This includes your XUID (Xbox user ID) transmitted in plain text, which means the collected data can be traced back to your account — unlike the old Snooper system that was removed for GDPR concerns.
Is No Telemetry Mod safe to use on multiplayer servers?
No Telemetry Mod is a client-side mod that disables outgoing telemetry data to Mojang. It does not modify gameplay or give any unfair advantage, so it should be compatible with most servers. However, always check a server's specific mod policy before joining.
Do I need No Telemetry Mod if I play on older Minecraft versions?
If you play on Minecraft 1.17 or earlier, telemetry is not active (the old Snooper was removed in 1.13). The mod is only necessary for Minecraft 1.18 and newer, where Mojang re-introduced data collection without an opt-out toggle.
