When Shoulder Surfing, if you have your back against a wall, it automatically hides your player to allow for better vision, a fantastic feature. However, if you then are in your inventory or typing in chat, your player becomes visible again. This is irritating if you want to see when organising pots/food in your inventory mid fight and you are in a corner or something.

To reproduce simply go into Shoulder Surfing mode from behind the player and back up to a wall. Press E or T.

Bug occurs with latest version of Shoulder Surfing in Minecraft 1.12.

This is in coflict with issue #19

How can I change this myself? Or would it be possible to add an option to enable/disable this feature?

I dont see a reason to make this a config option but you can do it on your own as follows:

Prerequisites

1. Install Java 8 Development Kit and add it to the PATH environment variable
2. Install git

Build

Open a terminal and run the following commands:

1. git clone https://github.com/Exopandora/ShoulderSurfing.git
2. cd ShoulderSurfing
3. git checkout 1.12.2
4. Remove && Minecraft.getMinecraft().currentScreen == null from line 58 in src/main/java/com/teamderpy/shouldersurfing/event/ClientEventHandler.java
5. Linux: gradlew build
   Windows:gradlew.bat build

You may have to run gradlew setupDecompWorkspace before the last command.

I have managed to install all requirements, however, I do not understand step 4. How do I remove this line in the terminal?

You need to edit this file. You dont have to run this step in terminal, sorry.

Any text editor (Notepad, etc)

Ok, I have followed all the instructions, and successfully built it. Just not sure where I have done this, where do I go to get the new file and put it in my mods folder?

Figured it out! Thanks so much! :)
