How do I turn on the animations for What Are They Up To Mod?
The animations are on by default once the mod is installed on both the client and the server, so you don't need to enable anything to see typing, inventory, or idle animations. If you're not seeing them, make sure the mod is present on the server side too, since the activity data has to be sent to your client.
Does What Are They Up To Mod work on Bedrock or Minecraft pe?
No, this mod is built for Java Edition and relies on server-side hooks that Bedrock and Pocket Edition don't support. There is no Bedrock or PE version of this mod.
Why can't I see other players typing in chat?
Typing animations only show when the mod is installed on the server, because the server has to broadcast that a player is typing. If you're on a server without the mod, or the other player is on a vanilla client, no typing animation will appear.
Can I see what's inside another player's inventory with this mod?
No, the mod only shows that a player is using a menu, not the contents of it. You'll see their hand move on a virtual screen, but the items themselves stay private.
How long does a player have to be idle before they fall asleep?
A player falls asleep after being inactive for more than five minutes. Once that happens, their character plays a sleeping animation and a "Zz" icon appears next to their name in the tab list.
Does the mod work with modded chests and containers?
Yes, the mod is compatible with modded containers, so you'll still see the hand animation when a player opens something like a modded crate or machine inventory. It hooks into the container-opening event rather than specific block types.

Will this mod cause lag on a big multiplayer server?
The mod sends small activity updates rather than full inventory data, so the performance impact is generally light. On very large servers, the main cost comes from the extra packets for typing and container events, which is usually negligible compared to normal gameplay traffic.
Do other players need the mod installed to see my animations?
Yes, everyone who wants to see the animations needs the mod on their client, and the server needs it too for the activity data to be broadcast. If only you have it installed, you won't see anyone else's animations and they won't see yours.
