Brutal Nightmare Config Integration
by ScadeBlock
Brutal Nightmare Config Integration adds a Brutal Nightmare entry to the mod settings menu, so the global config can be edited in game without touching files.
What it does
Settings for the Brutal Nightmare mod can be opened from a config screen that the mod adds to the game menu. Changes made there apply to the global config of a world, which is the same set of values the mod otherwise reads from disk. The screen is built on Cloth Config API, and the menu entry depends on Mod Menu to appear.
The mod is server-side only, so players join a server running it without installing anything, and only the server owner needs it. It is released for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, with builds covering 1.16 – 1.21.11 and version 4.6 or later. Cloth Config API, Fabric API and Mod Menu are all required on the Fabric and Quilt side, and the Forge and NeoForge builds rely on Cloth Config API.
All rights reserved applies to the code, so the mod is not open source. First published on 2025-06-04 and last updated on 2026-03-29, the files for 1.21.11 are 4.0_1.20.3_1.21.5 on Fabric and Quilt, 4.0_1.20.6_1.21.4 on Forge and 4.0_1.21.11 on NeoForge.

How it compares
Nightmares is a Fabric mod for 1.21.1 with a client and server environment and an All rights reserved license, and it is not open source. Nightmare Mod is also Fabric and client and server, covers 1.21.6 – 1.21.8 under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license, and is closed to contributions outside its team. Brutal Harvest differs most: its code is under the MIT License, it supports Forge and NeoForge for 1.20.1, and it needs both sides. Brutal Hunger is a NeoForge mod for 1.21.1 that is server-side only.
