Wiki / Privacy and settings
Privacy and settings
Everything you share has its own switch, and so does everything you see. Your choices are yours: the server can switch more off, never more on.
Open the settings with /bb settings, from Mod Menu on Fabric or from the Mods list on NeoForge.
Three presets#
| Preset | Command | Shares |
|---|---|---|
| Open book | /bb privacy open | Everything, except typed commands. |
| Just the basics | /bb privacy basics | That you are typing, in a menu, idle or away. No live picture, no mouse, no items. |
| Poker face | /bb privacy poker | Nothing at all. |

What is never shared#
- What you type. Others learn that you are typing and how fast. The letters they see are random.
- Private screens. Written books, report screens, the social screen and link warnings are never copied.
- Anything, to players without the mod. Nothing is sent to them.
- Detail, to players far away. Your mouse, live pictures and items only go to players within 10 blocks.
The file behind the screen is config/busybodies.json. /bb reload rereads it.
