Disable default UI
Explains the process of disabling Roblox's default user interface elements.
All Roblox games include several UI elements that are enabled by default. If you don't need any of these elements or if you want to replace them with your own creations, you can use the SetCoreGuiEnabled() method in a client‑side script with the associated CoreGuiType option.
| Default UI | Associated enum |
|---|---|
Dynamically updated Players list, commonly used as a leaderboard. |
CoreGuiType.PlayerList |
The character's Health bar. Does not appear if the character's Humanoid is at full health. |

The character's Backpack which contains in-game tools. Does not appear if there are no Tools in the backpack. |
