About the plugin

Configuration FIles is a plugin that allows for the creation of mod configuration files, through which parts of your mod can be enabled, disabled or modified using variable values stored inside it. Those values can then be changed by the mod's users, allowing for more control over your mod's features.

 

How to use?

 

Configurations are very simple to use. You will first need to create a configuration element.

config

Once created, you can make a configuration category and add variable types to it. Note that registry name types are considered texts. (and entities are not supported yet, but you can manually write the registry name as a text variable)

variables

You can then use the variables in procedures by following the example below.

example

 

And that's it! The Configuration Files will generate once the game is loaded.

 

The plugin supports versions 1.16.5-1.19.2, but doesn't support 2022.2. Therefore you will need to install the forge generator 1.16.5 plugin for 2022.3 if you plan on using this with 1.16.5

 

This is a Java Plugin and therefore requires the Java Plugins feature to be enabled.

Comments

The element does not appear to appear when in the fabric loader. Is this normal or an issue?

I'm having an issue with my mod where I have to keep deleting the configs in order to start testing the mod. If I don't keep deleting the config, it yells at me about the config's existance.

I wonder, is it possible to allow editing configs when the client/server is up and running without it resetting on restart? (Basically not needing to turn it off to make any lasting changes as if you do while it's on it will reset) It might not be possible as I know this is also an issue with some other mods like CC:Tweaked.

I think he means if it possible to access the config in-game.

Check Configured and Better Mods Button for it.

Better Mods Button(For accessing the Mods Button in Pause Menu etc.): https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/better-mods-button

i cant create a configuration element, because it doesn't Show up in the menu, the procedure blocks are there.

I don't know if you've fixed it or not but when using 1.16.5 the config order gets pretty messed up for me where they kinda randomizes their position in the different categories.

Also I don't know if this is possible as other mods also have this "issue". That the server/client needs to be entirely off before editing or it overrides itself.
