Config Search

by FinnDog_123

Config Search adds a search over the config options of every installed mod, reached through a small button beside the search field in Mod Menu's Mods screen.

What it does

Pressing the search button beside Mod Menu's field opens a search across the options of all installed mods. Each result shows its full breadcrumb, so a player can see exactly where a setting lives before opening it.

Selecting a result opens that mod's config screen at the right category or page, rather than the top of the menu. The mod reads options directly from common config libraries, namely YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL 3.x), Cloth Config, MidnightLib and Configured, and mods that use other libraries or hand-written config screens still appear in the results. The index is built the first time the search is opened and cached afterwards, so later searches stay quick. The mod requires Mod Menu and Fabric API, runs client-side only, and covers 1.20 – 26.3 on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge.

Config Search is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only, and its source code and issue tracker are public. Files are published for 26.3 on each loader, dated 2026-09-27.

Key features

  1. Search button in Mod Menu

    A magnifier button sits beside Mod Menu's search field and opens the config search without any other step.

  2. Matching across the whole config

    Typed words are checked against labels, descriptions and mod names, so a player can search by a term from the setting's label or description.

  3. Deep-linked results

    Each result opens the mod's config screen on the page or category that holds the setting, instead of the top of the screen.

  4. Cached index

    The index is built once on first use and kept afterwards, which keeps later searches responsive.

Questions

Does Config Search need Mod Menu or Fabric API?

Yes. The mod requires Mod Menu and Fabric API, so both must be installed for the search button to appear.

Does Config Search need to be on the server?

No. Only the player's game needs it, and servers run without it.

Which config libraries does Config Search read?

It reads options from YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL 3.x), Cloth Config, MidnightLib and Configured. Mods that use other libraries or hand-written screens still show up in results.

What the author says

Fabric only, client side. Requires Mod Menu and Fabric API. Ever known a mod has a setting for something but not which screen its buried in? Config Search adds a small search button next to the search field on Mod Menu's Mods screen. Here you can search through all configs, results match against option names…
