Poses

Sit, lay, belly-flop, spin and crawl, with claim and WorldGuard gating.

Poses lets players relax in the world: sit on the ground or on a block, sit on another player, lay down, belly-flop, spin and crawl. It is the built-in answer to needing a separate sitting plugin, and every pose obeys whatever land protection you already run.

Node	Default	Grants
`uxmessentials.bellyflop.use`	everyone	/bellyflop: flop onto your front where you stand.
`uxmessentials.crawl.use`	everyone	/crawl: crawl through a one-block gap; run again to stand up.
`uxmessentials.lay.use`	everyone	/lay: lie down on your back where you stand.
`uxmessentials.module.poses`	op	Hot-reload / inspect the poses module (built-in GSit-parity sitting and posing).

Settings

/* generated:settings */

Key	Default	What it does
`features.sit`	`true`
`features.player-sit`	`false`
`features.lay`	`true`
`features.bellyflop`	`true`
`features.spin`	`true`
`features.crawl`	`true`
`sit-on-blocks`	`true`	Whether right-clicking a sittable block seats the player there. With this off, /sit only sits the player in place.
`sittable-materials`	`[ "_STAIRS", "_SLAB", "*_CARPET" ]`	The block materials a player may sit on when sit-on-blocks is true. A leading or trailing * is a wildcard, so "*_STAIRS" matches every stair type. Add or remove entries to suit your build palette.
`max-distance`	`2.0`	The furthest a player may be, in blocks, from the seat block they right-click. Keeps a player from sitting on a block across the room. Must be greater than zero.
`return-to-start`	`true`	Whether ending a pose returns the player to exactly where they stood when it began, rather than leaving them where the seat sat. Useful so sitting on a block edge does not nudge the player on stand-up.
`snore`	`true`	Whether the lying poses emit a soft snore (a subtitle and sound, no resource pack) so a sleeping pose reads as sleeping to nearby players. Set false for a silent lie-down.
`respect-claims`	`true`	Region gating. When a claim plugin is present, respect-claims requires the player to have build/interact permission where they pose; when WorldGuard is present, respect-worldguard honours the pose region flags. With no such plugin installed, posing is allowed everywhere regardless of these switches.
`respect-worldguard`	`true`

/* /generated */

Placeholders

/* generated:placeholders */

Placeholder	Renders
`%uxmessentials_poses_pose%`	The pose the player holds: sit, lay, bellyflop, spin or none.
`%uxmessentials_poses_posing%`	Whether the player holds a free pose: lay, bellyflop or spin (yes/no).
`%uxmessentials_poses_sitting%`	Whether the player is sitting (yes/no).
`%uxmessentials_poses_toggle%`	Whether the player lets others sit on them: allow or refuse.

Notes

Claims are honoured when a claim plugin is installed. With respect-claims on, a player poses only where they are trusted to act.
WorldGuard gets four flags: sit, playersit, pose and crawl, each defaulting to allow. Set one to deny in a region to block that pose there, or turn the whole check off with respect-worldguard. With no region plugin installed everything is simply allowed.
Seats leave nothing behind. The helper entity is invisible, never saved, and removed the moment a player stands, logs out or the chunk unloads; anything a crash leaves is swept on the next start.
Sitting on another player needs both sides to allow it, which is what keeps it a joke between friends rather than a way to pin somebody.
