What Are They Up To
What Are They Up To (Corosus, watut, v1.20.1-1.2.3) is a social-presence mod that lets you see, at a glance, what nearby players are doing: it shows a live “is typing” indicator when someone’s composing a chat message, an idle icon after a few minutes of inactivity, and — the deeper feature — a small floating visual of the actual GUI (chest, crafting table, etc.) a nearby player has open, mirroring their mouse movement and clicks in near-real time. config/watut-server.toml sets distanceRequiredToShowGUIInfo: 10 blocks and a GUI-update send rate of dynamicGuiTickSendRateOfGUIUpdates = 10 (twice a second), while config/watut-common.toml marks a player idle after ticksToMarkPlayerIdle: 6000 ticks (5 minutes). Privacy toggles exist client-side for players who don’t want their screen or item transfers broadcast (dontSendDetailedGUIInfo, dontSendItemInfo), and server-side settings can hard-override any client that tries to force these features back on. It bundles Forge Config API Port for its config screens and depends on Darkhax’s CoroUtil library.
