What Are They Up To (Watut) in All the Mods 10: To the Sky

What Are They Up To, or Watut for short, is a quality-of-life mod for multiplayer. It lets you see what other players are doing at a glance: typing, using a menu, or sitting idle. If you play this pack with friends, it makes it much easier to tell who is actually at their keyboard.^[1]

What you can see

• Typing: you can see when a player is typing, both in the world and in a GUI. The visual gets faster and wackier the faster they type.^[1]
• In a GUI: when a player has a screen open, such as an inventory, chest or crafting screen, you see their hand moving and clicking around at a screen in front of them.^[1]
• Idle: after more than 5 minutes of inactivity, the player is shown falling asleep in the world, and a Zz indicator appears in the tab player list.^[1]

Privacy and configs

If you aren't comfortable with some of the information your client sends to the server, you can turn off each feature on the client side so it isn't sent. Idle-state notifications in chat are off by default.^[1]

In this pack

This pack ships Watut version 1.21.0-1.2.7 as the NeoForge build. The mod requires CoroUtil to run.^[1][2]

Unverified The sources don't say where Watut fits into the pack's progression. It is a client-visible multiplayer feature rather than a progression item, so there is nothing to unlock or craft for it here.

Good news: there's nothing to craft for this one. What Are They Up To (Watut) is a quality-of-life mod that shows you what other players are doing, so you don't need any items to start using it. I couldn't confirm any recipes, items or quests for it in this pack, so there's no crafting order to follow.^[1]

What you'll see in the world

• Typing: you can see when a player is typing, both in the world and in a GUI. The visual gets faster and wackier the faster they type.^[1]
• In a GUI: when a player has a screen open, such as an inventory, chest or crafting screen, you see their hand moving and clicking around at a screen in front of them.^[1]
• Idle: after being idle for over 5 minutes, a player falls asleep in the world, and a Zz indicator shows next to them in the tab player list.^[1]

Your first step: check your privacy settings

The mod works by the client sending some information to the server. If you aren't comfortable with any of it, you can disable each feature on the client side, and it won't be sent. Take a quick look at the options before you jump into a multiplayer world.^[1]

The mod requires CoroUtil to run. I can't confirm from my sources how the pack bundles it, so if the mod doesn't load for you, that's the first thing to check.^[1]

Unverified The exact config file names and option keys for the mod's client-side toggles are not confirmed for this pack, so check the in-game config screen for the list of features you can switch off.

This one is a little different from the usual machine mods. The project page describes Watut as a player-status mod: it shows other players' activity in the world and in the tab list. It describes no machines, multiblocks, power, fluids or item automation, so there's nothing to build or pipe here.^[1]

What the mod tracks

• Typing: you can see when another player is typing, both in the world and while they're in a GUI. The visual gets faster and wackier the faster they type.^[1]
• Being in a GUI: when a player has a screen open, such as an inventory, chest or crafting screen, you see their hand moving and clicking around at a screen in front of them.^[1]
• Idle state: after a player has been idle for over 5 minutes, you see them fall asleep in the world. A Zz indicator also shows up next to them in the tab player list.^[1]

Privacy and client-side settings

Some of this information is sent from your client to the server. If you're not comfortable with that, you can disable each feature on the client side, and it won't be sent.^[1]

Idle-state notifications in chat are off by default.^[1]

Dependency

Watut requires CoroUtil to run.^[1]

Unverified This pack ships no config files for the mod, so I can't confirm the exact option names or any pack-specific values. The behavior above comes from the mod's project page, and I can't verify whether the pack changes any of it.

What Are They Up To (Watut) has been in the pack since All the Mods 10: To the Sky 1.0 or earlier. Version 2.0.4 ships Watut 1.21.0-1.2.7, using the NeoForge file watut-neoforge-1.21.0-1.2.7.jar.^[2]

Mod changelog: 1.21.0-1.2.7

The one change listed for this version is a workaround for a GUI flickering issue. The changelog says the flicker was still happening on Fabric, and that the default was changed so the GUI is no longer constantly updated.^[3]

Keep in mind that the note talks about Fabric, while this pack uses the NeoForge build of the mod.^[2][3]

Unverified The sources here include no pack changelog entries for Watut, so what changed for this mod between individual pack releases is unverified.
