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.


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

Plugin works but no mod element were provided in MCR 2023.4

Hey Nerdy! Is there a chance you could upload the source code on to GitHub or similar? I have some mods that heavily depend on this plugin and I was hopping of porting it myself. Cheers :D

Really good plugin. Sad that it does not work on 2023.2+ and just do nothing when you try to open config. Hope that update will be soon

they haven't updated this plugin in over 4 months.. honestly if the dev doesn't care about it anymore they should just give over the source code to someone else, or at least make a statement about it, instead of just letting it rot like this

Well it's not like the source code is hidden, I've heard they're dealing with some personal matter rn and that's why they aren't active atm. Not sure how long they'll take but I'm sure if they had given up completely they would have allowed others to redistribute it.

When I want to create a new ´config elemen, the tab is not shown, same with the existing config element.
It happened when I updated from 2023.1 to 2023.2, but the plugin is for both version.
I would be happy if anyone can help me with this problem!

Like I hate to be that guy but is 2023.3 support in the works? Basically all my mods heavily depend on this plugin and as the b1.7 release is broken too I can only support mods up to 1.19.2 rn...

I mean even if you don't plan on updating soon, maybe removing the 2023.2 tag as it doesn't work?

I have problem with that plugin
i am working on mod for 1.18.2 on MCreator 2023.1 with this plugin on version 1.6.1
I am creating a config file, with variables in it
and when i change config file (in files, after exporting mod, not in the mod),
and after that i save that file, but it doesn't change
It only create a additional backup file, with my changes, but its not changing the existing file.
How can i fix it?
