Note that this README is for StandardSettings 2.0. If you're using an earlier mod version because you're playing on a Minecraft version 2.0 hasn't been released for, you can find the relevant README here.
This mod defaults settings to a standard set by the player when creating a new world. It's designed to replace the much slower, much laggier and more inconsistent solution of doing it by macro.
This mod requires Speedrun API. You can download StandardSettings, Speedrun API, as well as all other mods allowed for speedrunning, from https://mods.tildejustin.dev/.
If you used StandardSettings before, you'd be used to the mod reading from .../.minecraft/config/standardoptions.txt. This is no longer the case!
To get to the config screen, go to Options > Book and Quill > StandardSettings in game. Here you can edit all the settings changed by StandardSettings, including most settings from Minecraft's options.txt file, plus some additional settings. It does not include settings that aren't accessible from inside the game (i.e. difficulty – configure it in Atum's settings instead).
There is a global toggle for all settings at the top – setting "Toggle StandardSettings" to "OFF" will prevent every setting from being reset.
To find a specific setting quickly, press Ctrl + F in the config screen and start typing the name of the setting.
To stop a specific setting from being reset, change the button on the right of it from "ON" to "OFF".
You do not need to restart the instance for new settings to take effect.
The mod reads the .../.minecraft/config/mcsr/standardsettings.json file in the config folder of your Minecraft instance and defaults your settings to the values specified in that file every time a new world is created.
After that is done, it will also perform a quick check to make sure the values are within the boundaries of vanilla minecraft / the speedrun.com rule set.
Depending on the Minecraft version you are playing, some of these might not be included.
F3 Pause On World Load: This will use the F3+Esc pause screen instead of the regular pause screen for WorldPreview and for joining the world with Minecraft unfocused.
First World F3 Pause Delay: Sets a delay for F3 Pause on the first world to circumvent first world lag preventing chunks from rendering.
Entity Culling: Sets the Sodium "Entity Culling" option.
Sneak Toggled: If you are using togglesneak, this resets the state of sneaking, otherwise does nothing.
Sprint Toggled: If you are using togglesprint, this resets the state of sprinting, otherwise does nothing.
Chunk Borders: This resets if chunk borders are on or off.
Hitboxes: This resets if hitboxes are on or off.
Perspective: This resets what perspective you are in.
Pie Directory: This resets the directory your piechart is in. Common pie chart directories:
- Mapless / Preemptive:
root.gameRenderer.level.entities - Village / Fortress:
root.tick.level.entities.blockEntities
To put them into standardsettings, you can copy the right pie directory, select the box, and press Ctrl + A > Ctrl + V.
Hud Hidden (F1): This resets the state of F1 (GUI elements being hidden).
Since On World Join settings might be a bit unintuitive for people to use who aren't familiar with this mod, here is a quick summary:
Take 'Render Distance' as example. The value you set 'Render Distance' to under Video Settings is the value it gets changed to at the start of world generation. This will also be the value your background instances (in case you do multi instance) will be at, for example 5RD.
The value you set 'Render Distance' to under On World Join settings is the value it gets set to either when you join the world or once you first focus the instance. This means you want to put this as the value you want to use while playing, for example 16RD.
The same concept applies for all the other OnWorldJoin options too. Here is a list of them:
FOV: This is the FOV the game will change to once you finish world creation & have the instance focused.
Render Distance: This is the Render Distance the game will change to once you finish world creation and have the instance focused. For Pre 1.9: this option can cause issues when not playing on wall and also just isn't that helpful for single instance anyway.
Simulation Distance: This is the Simulation Distance (1.18+) the game will change to once you finish world creation & have the instance focused.
Entity Distance: This is the Entity Distance (1.16+) the game will change to once you finish world creation & have the instance focused.
GUI Scale: This is the GUI Scale the game will change to once you finish world creation & have the instance focused.
Trigger On Resize: If you enable this, resizing the window of your instance will also result in the OnWorldJoin options being triggered. This is mainly useful for macros to implement delays between activating OnWorldJoin options and joining the instance.
To do this, you have to create a .minecraft/config/mcsr/standardsettings.global file. Note that it has to have a .global extension! Make sure you have file extensions enabled by going to File Explorer > View tab on the top > ticking the File name extensions box.
Put a path to your global file there, for example:
C:\Users\KingContaria\Desktop\speedrunning stuff\standardoptions\globalstandardoptions_116.json
To do this, you can copy an existing standardoptions.json file, put it wherever you'd like, go to it in File Explorer, and shift right click on it > Copy as Path. Then, open standardsettings.global with Notepad, paste the path you just copied there, remove the quotes around it, and save the file.
This will make StandardSettings use the settings specified there instead of .minecraft/config/mcsr/standardsettings.json, and will allow you to change the settings in this file in game from Speedrun API.
