Why Not Be One Item Mod FAQ

10 questions players actually ask, answered.

How do I open a radial wheel for an item?
Hold or press the keybind assigned to the item (default is often a mouse button or key). The radial wheel will appear around your cursor, showing all available modes or actions for that item.
Can I change which key opens the wheel menu?
Yes. Go to your keybind settings (usually in Controls or Options) and search for the mod's keybinds. You can reassign the wheel activation key to any key or mouse button you prefer.
Why does my radial wheel not appear when I press the key?
Make sure the item is in your inventory or hotbar, the keybind is correctly set, and the mod is loaded. If using multiple mods, check that no other mod is intercepting the same keybind.
Do I need to install this mod on the server?
No. Why Not Be One Item Mod is client-side only, so you only need it installed on your client. It works with any server as long as the modded items themselves are available.
Will this mod work with my other mods?
Yes. This mod is designed as a shared toolset that other mods hook into. It works on both Forge and Fabric, and doesn't conflict with most mods unless they also heavily modify item interaction.
How do I select an option from the wheel?
While holding the wheel open, move your mouse toward the segment you want and click, or release the keybind while hovering over your choice. The exact method depends on how the wheel is configured.
Can I customize the appearance or layout of the wheel?
This depends on the mod's configuration options. Check your mod config folder for settings files where you may be able to adjust wheel size, colors, or segment arrangement.
What's the difference between wheel segments and item modes?
Segments are the individual slices shown on the radial wheel, and each segment represents a different mode or action the item can perform. Selecting a segment switches the item to that mode.
Does using radial wheels slow down my game?
No. The mod is lightweight and client-side only. Opening a wheel is instant and has negligible performance impact.
Can modpack creators add custom wheels to their own items?
Yes. The mod provides code hooks and APIs for modders to create custom menu behaviors and button actions, allowing any modded item to integrate with the radial wheel system.
