Configuration

Configuration

Everything Hex can be told to do lives in one menu. There is no scattering of settings across screens, and no separate "advanced" config file you are expected to edit — though the files are there if you prefer them.

Opening the menu

Four ways in, all equivalent:

• /hexa config in chat.
• The □ button next to Done on Minecraft's Options screen.
• A keybind — bind Open Hex Config under Options → Controls → Hex. It ships unbound.
• Mod Menu's settings button, if you have Mod Menu installed. Closing the menu takes you back to the mod list.

The □ button is on the Options screen wherever you open it from — the pause menu or the title screen. From the title screen it is the only way in, since the command needs a chat box and the keybind needs a world.

How the menu is laid out

• Tabs down the side, one per feature: Keybinds, Freecam, Hand, Item Customization, Titles, Reminders, Regions, Entity Highlight, Command Suggestions, Updates. Each feature contributes its own tab, so the sidebar reflects what the mod actually has.
• A search box filters settings across all tabs at once, so you can find a setting without knowing which feature owns it.
• A reset button on every row, restoring that one setting to its default.
• A link to the Keybinds screen for keybind shortcuts and control switches.

Settings apply as you change them — drag a slider and watch the result behind the menu. There is no Apply button and no need to reopen anything.

Resetting

• Reset tab (footer) restores everything on the current tab to its defaults, including that feature's own on/off switch. It asks first.
• Reset all (on the Profiles screen) restores every Hex setting to its default.

Both touch live settings only. Your saved profile is not rewritten, so Discard on the Profiles screen brings everything back. A mis-clicked reset is never the end of a setup.

A few lists are deliberately not caught by a tab reset, because they are data rather than settings — the per-item swing list survives a Hand tab reset, for instance.

What each tab covers

Tab	Covers
Keybinds	Master switch for keybind shortcuts, and the way into their editor
Freecam	Movement speed, sensitivity and behaviour of the freecam
Sensitivity	Wheel step and snap-on-press for the sensitivity hold
Hand	First-person hand position, scale, rotation and swing, plus the per-item swing list
Item Customization	The customized items list, the ✎ slot marker, and chroma speed and width
Titles	Masters, fallback colours and chroma for every alert title; the timings a new one starts with
Reminders	The reminder panel's position, scale, colours and row count; chroma speed; snooze length
Regions	Region drawing, names, through-walls, colours and chroma speed, default radius, exit margin
Entity Highlight	The highlight rules list, scan interval, default glow colour, chroma speed
Chat Highlight	The chat highlight rules list, default colour, and its chroma speed and width
Command Suggestions	Everything about command suggestions, and the dashboard
Updates	The auto-updater — per installation, never part of a profile

Profiles

Whole settings setups can be saved, named, switched, shared and auto-applied per server or island. See Config profiles.

Editing by hand

Settings are plain JSON under config/hex/ — see Config files for the map. Hex writes those files as you play, so edit them with the game closed.

A file Hex cannot read is kept, not thrown away. It is renamed to <name>.json.broken and that config starts from its defaults for the session, so a typo costs you those settings until you fix it rather than costing you the data — the rules, regions or reminders in the file are still there, in the .broken copy, to be corrected and renamed back. Nothing is ever written over it: if a .broken file is already there, the older one is the one kept.
