Completely rewritten from the ground up, based on the original Tidy5e Sheet module by sdenec and 4535992, and the excellent foundation laid by the 5e system module.

We recommend installing this module through Foundry, the Forge Bazaar, or a similar interface for official Foundry packages.
Or, you can still install Tidy manually via the module.json URL:
- Inside the initial Foundry Configuration and Setup screen, open the Add-on Modules tab.
- Press the Install Module button.
- In the Manifest URL field, paste in a manifest URL. The "Latest Stable" URL is:
https://github.com/kgar/foundry-vtt-tidy-5e-sheets/releases/latest/download/module.json- See the foundry package page for Last Versions for different dnd5e system versions.
- Press Install and wait for installation to complete.
- Enable the module in your game in the Game Settings sidebar tab, pressing the Manage Modules button and activating Tidy 5e Sheets. This activates the module, but you still need to switch sheets to Tidy verions.
- Change individual sheets to Tidy using the three-dot Toggle Controls menu at the top of each sheet and choosing Configure sheet.
- Globally change all sheets from the Game Settings sidebar tab, choosing Configure Settings. Here you can change Core → Configure Default Sheets, or Tidy 5e Sheets → Set Tidy as Default Sheet.
⚙️ The new Tidy 5e Sheets overhaul, codenamed Quadrone, has begun, and we are gradually releasing new sheets into the beta. ⚙️ To make these sheets your own, change to the new Tidy 5e Sheet options in the Sheet Configuration pages.

The community has been generous to me for my efforts with this module. With that said, this next chapter in Tidy's history is, in a large part, thanks to hightouch's willingness to give of himself and work with the community and me to give Tidy an amazing new look while preserving all the functional things that users have come to rely upon.

If you are experiencing a bug or have an idea for a new feature, submit a github issue or begin a discussion in the community discord.
The Tidy 5e Sheets API is here to allow for extending the sheets in a variety of supported ways. Because this module uses alternate web technology from the normal Foundry sheets, integrating by API is essential for other modules and for those making world scripts.
If you need API support for a feature or customization that you have in mind, submit a github issue or begin a discussion in the community discord.
If a module is not compatible with Tidy 5e Sheets, submit a github issue, and the author will work with other module authors to establish compatibility.
- Tidy 5e Sheets are meant to be nice sheets that make it easy to do D&D in style.
- Tidy 5e Sheets are intended to remain compatible with the current version of the D&D 5e system, including mirroring its Foundry compatibility settings. When there's a system update that has breaking changes, Tidy 5e Sheets will move all current efforts forward to the new D&D 5e version and adjust its minimum system version accordingly.
- This module cannot and should not try to bootstrap all sheet-augmenting modules within its own source code. Modules come and go.
- This module should not become a Kitchen Sink module. Requests that go out of scope cannot be fulfilled.
- This is a community effort. The Maintainer(s) strive to keep an open dialogue with interested users / devs while continuing maintenance and adding features.
