You can use it to create your own basic config file 9with a TXT file for example), but a real config file has to be coded of another way. This plugin use the File class of Java and not the Config thing of Forge. Anyways, thank you ^^

This is a great plugin. Very good job. I am testing this in 1.12.2 and works really smooth so far. I have made a basic config kinda file so the client loads the global settings from the file. Is there a workaround atm to let the client know if there is a file with config and if not then to create one? Right now the way i set it is not to create the file by default (getting errors in console that procedure couldn't find the file) and force the client to create the file once the player try to change the settings with my in-game guide book.

The previous setting i had was to create the file on world load but like this i couldn't load the settings from the file. I was keep recreating the file from template.

But yet anything i tried so far (except this) it worked like a charm in general so yea. gg for this great plugin. I am gonna implement this in my mods for sure.

Thank you a lot! I'm glad to…

Thank you a lot! I'm glad to see it's useful for some users.

About your question, I'm not sure to understand what you want. Do you mean, something to check if the file exists and if not, create the file? If you are talking about that or something similar, I already make this before creating the file, but I didn't test with Forge 1.12.2 (even if it should work the same way as it's a Java feature and not a Forge feature).

Yea that's exactly what i want to do. If there is already a file with this name, to skip creation and start reading. I only tested this in 1.12.2.

By now, i have already found a workaround kinda. I added an else {} code in the procedure when the world loads. Exactly after the  if (!file.exists()) {} and made it load a different procedure inside the else statement, that only reads the file. If that makes sense because i don't know anything about java and forge. But it worked and doesn't overwrite my file and my pc didn't explode so all good.
 
For my needs, this plugin is extremely useful. I can't thank you enough for this plugin. 

I think what you made for…
Wed, 08/26/2020 - 15:19

I think what you made for the file, but if it's really that, I can't make it because I can't make something similar than the if else block. I'm sorry for that because MCreator has a bad support of Blockly currently. However, I tried many times, and when you make your procedure properly, it shouldn't overwrite the file.

Yeah, you can make basic config files with this plugin.
