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

hey i wanted to point out that 2.3.1 actually works also with 2024.2 , i tested it and everything worked well so far

Sorry to be a pain Nerdy but I'm getting some compiling errors, I can open the procedures fine and save them but they're getting a 'cannot find symbol' error. Do you have any suggestions?
Also thanks for fixing the procedure issue!

Config element been completely wiped after updating

It appears the latest update breaks something with procedures. With the plugin installed I can't open any procedures but soon as I remove it I can open them fine

Are you absolutely certain that's the case? This plugin does not mess with other blockly editors and if your config is wiped there's a chance it just isn't loading the editor. Do you have any other plugins installed? Do you have the latest 2024.3 patch?

I'm fairly certain. I've made a completely new workspace with no plugins install prior to creation. Installed Config plugin and loaded the workspace again, create a new procedure and nothing shows up. I've tried reinstalling mcreator also. Yes using the lates patch uploaded:

Configuration Files v2.3 (MCreator 2024.3 ONLY) - configuration_files.zipUploaded on: 11/17/2024 - 14:15

hi nerdy! how are you. was just woundering if you can update your plugin builder for mcreator so automatically adds 2024.3 in the supported versions to created plugins? it only does 2024.1 and 2024.2 (online information file keeps reseting when i try to chang eut)

So I've done the following and still doing the same thing. Blockly editor is just completely blank, no options on the left or anything.
- Uninstall Mcreator entirely
- Restart PC
- Install latest Mcreator version
- Still Configuration plugin ONLY
- Load fresh new workspace

for those who need this for 2024.3 just go into the zip file, open plugin.json, and look for 2024002 nd replace that with 2024003. this will likely cause some support issues and if any bugs happen dont report them as a bug on the plugin page as the plugin is not designed to run on 24.3 this is only a temporary solution for those who absolutely need it for 24.3 now.

Heya Nerdy, a way to change config values with procedures could be possible?

yea i installed the latest and enable java plugins and it seems to not be working.

What does this mean?
