Settings

⚙️ Note:

Most basic settings (like enabling the mod or rendering with a cape/elytra) can be configured in-game via the YACL menu.
However, adding or modifying items in the tools list currently requires manual editing of the .json5 config file (see below).
Full YACL support for tool configuration is still in development. 

Simple Configuration File

The configuration file can be found at:
/config/tools-on-my-back.json5
