LAN worlds are handled the same way.<\/p>\n<p>## Config<\/p>\n<p>The config can be edited in-game by using **Cloth-Config** and **ModMenu**.<br \/>\nThis will let you change the position and size of the hud.<\/p>\n<p>## Commands<\/p>\n<p>By default, all sub-commands use `\/note` as a root. The name of the root can be changed in the config screen in case of conflict.<\/p>\n<p>`<text>` arguments accept both raw text and SNBT text (See Text Format below). Raw text does not need to be quoted.<\/p>\n<p>`<index>` arguments also support `first` and `last` as alternatives to numeric values.<\/p>\n<p>### Adding items<br \/>\n&#8211; `push <text>` Adds an item at the top.<br \/>\n&#8211; `queue <text>` Adds an item at the bottom.<br \/>\n&#8211; `write <text>` Adds an item to the list. (See config screen.)<br \/>\n&#8211; `add|insert <index> <text>` Adds an item at an arbitrary index.<\/p>\n<p>### Removing items<br \/>\n&#8211; `pop` Removes the top-most item.<br \/>\n&#8211; `shift` Removes the bottom-most item.<br \/>\n&#8211; `pop|remove <index>` Removes the specified item. Auto-completion will show the text for the appropriate index.<br \/>\n&#8211; `clear` Removes everything.<\/p>\n<p>### Editing<br \/>\n&#8211; `edit <index> <text>` Overwrites an existing item. Auto-completion will suggest the old value.<br \/>\n&#8211; `bump <index>` Moves an item one place upward.<br \/>\n&#8211; `bump <index> <offset>` Moves an item the given amount of places. Positive values move upward, negative values move downward.<br \/>\n&#8211; `move <from> <to>` Moves an item from one index to another.<\/p>\n<p>### Hud<br \/>\n&#8211; `hide <bool>` Toogles the backlog hud On or Off. Can be called with no argument.<\/p>\n<p>### Debug<br \/>\nThese commands aren&#8217;t required for normal usage.<br \/>\n&#8211; `save` Forces saving the backlog to its file. (Automatically called whenever you make any change using other commands.)<br \/>\n&#8211; `reload` Forces loading the backlog from its file. (Automatically called upon joining a world.)<\/p>\n<p>## Text Format<\/p>\n<p>Raw text is greedy and does not need to be quoted:<br \/>\n> `\/note push I am an unquoted text`<\/p>\n<p>When SNBT text is used, it can also be used in arrays, like for the description fields of Resource packs. The format has some variations with different versions of minecrafts.<\/p>\n<p>Simple SNBT:<br \/>\n> `\/note push { text:&#8221;32x Redstone&#8221;, color:red, bold:1, italic:1 }`<\/p>\n<p>Partially colored text: (MC\u00a01.21.5 and prior)<br \/>\n> `\/note push [{text:&#8221;32x &#8220;}, {text:Redstone,color:red}]`<\/p>\n<p>Partially colored text: (MC\u00a01.21.6 and onward)<br \/>\n> `\/note push [&#8220;32x &#8220;, {text:Redstone,color:red}]`<\/p>\n<p>Text with sprites: (MC\u00a01.21.9 and onward)<br \/>\n> `\/note push [&#8220;32x &#8220;, {atlas:items,sprite:item\/redstone}, {text:Redstone,color:red}]`<\/p>\n<p>![Text with sprite ](https:\/\/cdn.modrinth.com\/data\/8lRk52St\/images\/4601d24f1b6eca7cae15c6596d4e6949e4cad3e1.jpeg)<\/p>\n<p>## Resource Packs<\/p>\n<p>In addition to textures, resource packs can alter some minor aspects of the backlog HUD&#8217;s layout, by modifying the corresponding texture&#8217;s `.mcmeta` file.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; `basis`: { `width`, `height` } The base size of the element on screen.<br \/>\nFor 16x-packs, this is strictly equal to the texture&#8217;s size. For 32x-packs, this is half the texture&#8217;s size. So on, so forth.<br \/>\nNo specific texture size is expected for these elements; the values specified here are what define the expected sizes.<br \/>\n&#8211; `basis`: { `fill` } (_boolean_) Whether the element should take as much horizontal space as allowed (true) or shrink to fit the text (false).<br \/>\n&#8211; `ninepatch`: { `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` } The margins of the 9-patch. I.e, the areas that won&#8217;t be stretched to fit element&#8217;s size.<br \/>\n&#8211; `padding`: { `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` } Empty space that will be added around the element. Negative values can be used to  remove space, and make elements overlap.<br \/>\n&#8211; `textarea`: { `top`, `bottom`, `left`, `right` } Margins inside the texture, which will not be filled with text.<br \/>\n&#8211; `text`: {&#8230;} The different colours of the text for that element, formatted as a `#aarrggbb` hex codes. The alpha component is mandatory.<br \/>\n\t&#8211; `colour` is the text&#8217;s main colour<br \/>\n\t&#8211; `outline` defines a main outline colour.<br \/>\n\t&#8211; `outerline` adds a thicker outline around the first outline. Requires the former to be defined.<br \/>\n&#8211; `text`: { `shadow` } (_boolean_) Whether the text should have a shadow. Incompatible with any outline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clientside notepad and to-do list for forgetful people<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24729,"template":"","meta":{"_minecraft_slug":"backburner","_minecraft_project_id":"8lRk52St","_minecraft_author":"Estecka","_minecraft_license":"EUPL-1.2","_minecraft_downloads":14549,"_minecraft_follows":79,"_minecraft_client_side":"required","_minecraft_server_side":"unsupported","_minecraft_storage_type":"zip","_minecraft_archive_name":"backburner.zip","_minecraft_size_bytes":9249261,"_minecraft_version_count":36,"_minecraft_updated_at":"2026-05-15T22:17:31.018875Z","_minecraft_date_created":"2023-09-10T23:09:15.317092Z","_minecraft_date_modified":"2026-01-14T18:48:50.817336Z","_minecraft_project_url":"https:\/\/modrinth.com\/mod\/backburner","_minecraft_icon_attachment_id":24729,"_minecraft_imported_at":"2026-06-01T08:40:37+00:00","_minecraft_import_hash":"9102977ca64a82a5c1400c16c3027345","_minecraft_versions":"","_minecraft_links":"","_minecraft_gallery":"","_minecraft_api_metadata":""},"mod_category":[97,92],"mod_loader":[99],"minecraft_version":[58,59,36,60,93,94,101,102,62,37,40,41,73,74,38,78,79,80,81,82],"class_list":["post-24728","mod","type-mod","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","mod_category-fabric","mod_category-utility","mod_loader-fabric","minecraft_version-1-19-4","minecraft_version-1-20","minecraft_version-1-20-1","minecraft_version-1-20-2","minecraft_version-1-20-3","minecraft_version-1-20-4","minecraft_version-1-20-5","minecraft_version-1-20-6","minecraft_version-1-21","minecraft_version-1-21-1","minecraft_version-1-21-10","minecraft_version-1-21-11","minecraft_version-1-21-2","minecraft_version-1-21-3","minecraft_version-1-21-4","minecraft_version-1-21-5","minecraft_version-1-21-6","minecraft_version-1-21-7","minecraft_version-1-21-8","minecraft_version-1-21-9"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
