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.
Once created, you can make a configuration category and add variable types to it. Note that registry name types are considered texts.
You can then use the variables in procedures by following the example below.
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.

@NerdyPuzzle if you have time are you could add "Anaku's Status Bars" Mod as a Java Plugin?
Here is the CurseForge Link of the Mod:
Fabric - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/anakus-status-bars
Forge - https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/anakus-status-bars-forge
No the implementation of that just like the integration of JEI.
The Mod above I linked allowed us to make more easily an Status Bar aka. Health Bar etc. for your Attributes. In short you can make your own HUD Status Bar just like the Heart Bar etc.
This is really cool if this exist in MCreator via Java plugin.
Check the Documentation:
Forge: https://github.com/LordAnaku/Anaku_Status_Bars_Forge/wiki
Fabric: https://github.com/LordAnaku/Anakus_Status_Bars/wiki
Fails to build with the 1.16.5 generator for 2022.3, like shown in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB6VlLDOO6M
