Shy is an optimization and utility Minecraft mod from Microcontrollers with 9.5K downloads on the Orca catalog. It runs on Forge, so it slots into a matching Minecraft profile without hand-patching anything. Shy is free to download and free to host on Orca: press Play and Orca launches Minecraft with Shy already installed, or host it on a free server to play with friends. There is no control panel and no config files to edit, and no command line to learn. Describe what you want in plain English and Orca installs Shy along with the loader and Minecraft version it needs, then you and your friends are playing in minutes.

Lets you hide entities when you get close to them. Very configurable!

Download Shy on Modrinth

Download the latest Shy file from Modrinth for your Minecraft version.
Install Forge and launch Minecraft once so the loader profile is created.
Drop the downloaded .jar into your mods folder (the mods folder inside .minecraft, or your server's mods folder).
Add any libraries Shy depends on (the Modrinth page lists them) into the same folder, then start Minecraft on the Forge profile.
