Configure qb-smallresources

On a QBCore server, a surprising number of small behaviours all live in one resource: qb-smallresources. Drinking a water bottle, the way a weapon draws, seatbelt, cruise control, removing default GTA cops, pointing animations. When a new owner asks "where do I turn X on or off," the answer is very often "a config file inside qb-smallresources." This lesson shows you what it holds and how to edit it.

You'll do: Find qb-smallresources, understand which small features it controls, and edit one config file to change a behaviour, all without writing code.
Time: ~12 minutes
You need: A QBCore server you can restart, a text editor like VS Code, and the ability to read your txAdmin Live Console.
You'll learn: What qb-smallresources bundles -> where each feature's config lives -> how to toggle one safely -> what it does NOT include (so you stop hunting in the wrong file).

BEFORE YOU START

What qb-smallresources actually controls

qb-smallresources ships with QBCore and depends on qb-core. It bundles small quality-of-life and world features so you do not install a separate script for each one. The current resource includes:

Area	Examples of what it controls

Consumables	Food and drink items (sandwich, water, tosti) and their hunger, thirst, and drunk effects
Weapons	Draw animations, recoil tweaks, and stopping weapons from dropping on death
World cleanup	Removing default GTA police, emergency NPCs, and the wanted-star system
Vehicles	Removing GTA ambient vehicles and turning the engine on when you enter
Player utility	Seatbelt, cruise control, parachute, armor, binoculars as useable items
Animations	Pointing, crouch, prone, tackle, hostage taking, race harness
Presence and effects	Discord rich presence, fireworks, firearm spawn-rate tuning, HUD element removal
