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

i don't get it dude...im a beginner so maybe i misunderstood something. when i clicked the "configuration"element and typed in the name of it, nothing happended afterwards. i didn't see any new elements added... is this a bug? or maybe i got it wrong;-;

Hello. When I press the add configuration element button and type in the name, when i press enter nothing happens. Help?

Mcreator 2023.2 creating config with the button does nothing, no console errors either. Forge version 1.19.2

Could you add an array list option for the config element? (This could be used in conjunction with the Array Lists plugin)

I receive the following error when trying to create a new configuration element in the latest mcreator version 2023.2.24119

It's weird the configuration element don't work on my mcreator on the lastest update
