BackSlot Mod — Configuration

Configuration and Customization

The mod utilizes the Cloth Config API to allow players to fine-tune the visual experience. Through the configuration menu, users can adjust how items are displayed to account for custom skins or bulky armor sets.

Visual Offsets

Players can modify the following parameters for both the Back and Belt slots: * Translation (X, Y, Z): Adjust the horizontal, vertical, and depth position of the holstered item. * Rotation: Change the angle at which the item sits (e.g., making a sword hang vertically or at a 45-degree angle). * Scale: Increase or decrease the size of the rendered item on the player's back or belt.

Datapack Integration

Server administrators and modpack creators can use datapacks to define which items are allowed in which slots. BackSlot uses standard Minecraft tags located at: * data/backslot/tags/items/back.json - Defines items allowed in the back slot. * data/backslot/tags/items/belt.json - Defines items allowed in the belt slot.

By adding an item's ID to these tags, any modded weapon can be made compatible with the BackSlot system.
