extra_video_settings

Extra Video Settings

Restores vanilla video settings that Embeddium / Sodium hides, adds save/load profiles for key bindings & video settings, and lets you mask player names in chat, tab list, and nameplates.

Works on Forge 1.20.1, NeoForge 1.20.2, and Fabric 1.20.1.

Restored Settings Options

Button Location

Options Menu → Click the “Vanilla Options” button

Embeddium Video Settings Screen → Click the “Vanilla Options” button in the bottom-right corner

Settings Profiles (Save & Load)

Save and load your key bindings and video / options as named profiles. Covers vanilla and modded settings, so you can roundtrip an entire setup across worlds, machines, or installs.

GUI

Open the Options screen and click the “Profiles…” button (placed directly below the option grid). Enter a name, then save / load / delete either keys or video. If the layout overflows on a small window, scroll with the mouse wheel — bounded so you can’t scroll past the edges.

Commands (with Tab completion)

Profiles are plain text files in config/extra_video_settings/profiles/. Edit them by hand, drop them into other installs, or share with friends.

Player Name Masking

Hide player names for screenshots, streaming, or just keeping screenshots out of search. Masks names everywhere they appear: chat, death messages, command output, tab list, and nameplates above players.

Modes

• OFF — show the real name (default)
• BLACKOUT — replace the name with █ blocks of the same length
• OBFUSCATED — keep the original text but apply the vanilla §k garbled-font effect

You can set different modes for yourself vs. other players — for example, OBFUSCATED for everyone else but BLACKOUT for your own name.

Setup

Edit config/extra_video_settings/name_mask.txt:

others=OBFUSCATED
self=BLACKOUT

Restart the game (or rejoin) and your name + everyone else’s will be masked across all UI surfaces.

Requirements

• Forge 1.20.1 — works standalone; Embeddium 0.1.0+ is optional (the vanilla-settings restoration only activates when Embeddium is present)
• NeoForge 1.20.2 — works standalone, no optimisation mod required
• Fabric 1.20.1 — requires Fabric API; Sodium / Iris are optional

Notes

• All three loader builds share a common codebase; behaviour is identical across Forge / NeoForge / Fabric.
• Profiles are forward-compatible — a profile saved on one loader loads fine on another (same vanilla key/option IDs).
• Name masking is client-side only — other players still see your real name; this only affects what you see on your screen.
