How to Remove the Right Side of F3 Minecraft: Debug Screen

F3 in Minecraft is a “debug screen” available in the Minecraft Java Edition on which, Players can see chunk cache, a graph that measures the game’s current frame rate, light level, entity counter, memory usage, various parameters, direction, biome, version, and the player’s map coordinates, etc

It displays several useful information about the game.

To Remove the Right side of F3 Minecraft – Enable the “reduceDebugInfo” gamerule to hide the screen, Install MiniHUD mod and change the amount of information displayed on the screen. Toggle the MiniHUD mod on and off by pressing H and pressing both the H and C keys together to access the configuration.

How to Trigger the Debug Screen on Minecraft?

The debug screen is triggered by pressing the F3 key and is useful when your Minecraft world has been scrambled by a bad update or a computer problem.

The F3 menu also allows you to reset your world without having to redownload the game and reinstall Minecraft.

How to Get Rid of the Right side of F3 Minecraft?

There is no one toggle option to disable the whole “debug screen.”

However, there are a few ways to minimize the issue such as Reduce Debug Info, resizing your Minecraft window and making it wider for the text to align better, Getting a resource pack with a decent font, and running Minecraft on a graphics card with less text in its name.

1. Reduce Debug Info

A ‘Reduced Debug Info’ toggle is available within multiplayer settings. Players can enable/disable the reduced information on the debug screen.

The reduced debug info game rule basically allows you to enable/disable reduced information on the debug screen and it doesn’t show coordinates.

You can use it to not see exactly where they are or for survival players who prefer not to use coordinates and don’t want to be tempted by F3 making it one less line of text that cover your screen.

You can disable using the command /gamerule reducedDebugInfo true.

2. Customize GUI Dimensions

Minecraft GUI (Graphical User Interface) regulates the scale of the GUI.

To change your dimension:

  • Go to the menu by pressing “ESC”
  • Select “Options”
  • Click on “Video Settings”
  • Tap on “GUI Scale”
  • Customize your GUI scale depending on what you want

Go through the GUI scale and select a size that’s more suitable for you.

Alternatively, you can go to your Minecraft folder. Visit your options.txt and customize the GUI scale, going up by 1 until you get to the desired size.

Note that changing your GUI will affect the sizes for all your other interfaces including your inventory, player chat, menu, etc.

Just in case you have a small screen, disable the TPS graph from betterf3 general settings.

List of Data Shown on Minecraft’s F3 debug Screen

We can all admit that the F3 screen can sometimes be a bit overwhelming with all the numbers and texts and even cover some important parts of the game.

So, let us try to understand the data shown on the screen.

FPS counter

In the Java Edition, pressing F3 (or Fn + F3 on Macs and some laptops or Alt + Fn + F3 on newer Macs) brings up a debug screen that gives the player’s current FPS in the upper left part of the screen.

Your frame rate which is described in frames per second (fps), measures how smoothly a given game runs on your PC.

You can locate the FPS on the top-left side of the debug screen, which will show the current and average frame rate of the game.

The chunk of information on the left side will end with “FPS”

It will be displayed as (eg. 59/39 fps (23 updates) ) which is located at the second line of the screen.

The first FPS value is the average FPS, the second is the minimum FPS.

Go to your video settings > other and hover over “Show FPS”, it will tell you what each of the values represents.

Coordinates

The Debug Screen brings up the player’s current coordinates and rotation in the upper left part of the screen and displays three directions: +X in red, +Y in green, +Z in blue (eastward, upward, and southward, respectively).

You can skim easily with “XYZ” located on the second chunk of the data.

Current Biosphere

This feature is not needed as Users usually know where they are (Forests, Mountains, Deserts, Taiga, Snowy, tundra, Ice spikes, etc)

However, in the case that you are not sure where are, skim for “biome” to locate.

eg. Biome: minecraft:deep_frozen_ocean

You will not find much useful info about the game on the right side of the debug screen apart from specifications, RAM, GPU, CPU usage, and resources.
