Cloth Gamerules
by Estecka
Cloth Gamerules replaces the vanilla game rules menu with a Cloth Config screen that adds search, per-rule reset and filtering.
What it does
The mod swaps the game rules screen for a full reimplementation built on Cloth Config API. Players can search rules by name, reset a single rule to its default with a dedicated button, and filter the list. The menu also borrows some of Cloth Config's own functions, which makes browsing a long list of rules less tedious in a survival or creative world with many changed settings.
Rules that other mods add are shown in the same screen. Rules added by other mods are expected to define custom categories, and the screen groups them by each mod's namespace and ID, whereas rules that ship with vanilla keep their built-in categories. Because it only changes how the rules are presented, the rules themselves still behave as the game and other mods define them.
Cloth Gamerules is published for Fabric only, with 20 release versions 1.19.4 – 1.21.11 and the latest file 1.2.2+1.21.11 for 1.21.11, released 2026-02-01. It is open source under the MIT License. Cloth Config API and Fabric API must be installed alongside it. Servers do not need it; each player installs it for their own game.
