Hide Game Chat with Mute or Block in Minecraft: Java Edition

For Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, see Hide Game Chat with Mute or Block in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

If you don’t want to see a player’s in-game chat messages, you can select Mute from the in-game social menu or Block them through the Xbox app. To learn more about the differences between these, see Differences Between Mute and Block.

Mute a player in-game

You can mute a player in-game through the Social Interactions menu.

  1. Select the P key on your keyboard to bring up the in-game Social Interactions menu.
  2. Select the text bubble icon next to the player you want to mute.

Mute or block a player through the Xbox app

You can also mute or block a player from the Xbox app. Instructions are available at How to mute or block other players on Xbox on the Xbox support site. Locate the On the Xbox app header, expand it, and expand Block another player.

Unmuting or unblocking a player

Unmuting or unblocking a player can be done by repeating the steps above for the muted or blocked player; selecting Mute or Block will unmute or unblock them.

Unmuting or unblocking a player takes effect immediately: you will be able to see an unmuted player’s chat messages and an unblocked player will also be able to see your profile and send you invites again.
