Config files

Three small files in each player's config folder. Most people never need to open them.

busybodies.json#

Everything on the settings screen, plus a few extras: visualScale (how big the icons and panel are, 0.25 to 4) and the one, three and five minute idle guesses used on servers without Busy Bodies (fidgetAfterS, drowsyAfterS, sleepAfterS).

busybodies-arms.json#

Some held items have their own arm pose, and typing arms would fight it. This file lists them. Out of the box a bow, crossbow, shield, spyglass, map, trident and goat horn keep their own pose.

[
  { "item": "minecraft:bow", "hand": "both", "skip": true },
  { "item": "@somemod", "hand": "main", "skip": true },
  { "item": "*_staff", "hand": "main", "x": -0.2, "y": 0.0, "z": 0.0 }
]

• item is one item, a whole mod (@modid) or a pattern with *.
• hand is main, off, both, or other (the free hand while the other one holds a match).
• skip keeps the item's own pose. Otherwise x, y and z nudge the Busy Bodies pose.

busybodies-screens.json#

Rules for single screens: how much of them is copied, or that they are never copied.

[
  { "screen": "InventoryScreen", "crop": "none", "radius": 0 },
  { "screen": "*BackpackScreen", "crop": "menu", "radius": 0 }
]

• screen is the screen's class name, or a pattern with *.
• crop is circle, menu, full, or none for never.
• radius sets the size of the round area; 0 keeps the server's value.

After editing any of them, run /bb reload.
