by kazo

Config Workshop gives Forge players one searchable dashboard for editing the registered configuration files of installed mods, in-game.

ForgeClient-side onlyMIT License1.21.11 – 26.2

What it does

The mod lists every Forge mod that registers a ForgeConfigSpec and lets a player browse those settings from a single screen. Search matches the setting name, its full path, its comment, its type and its current value, so a single query can reach options spread across several mods. Each entry shows its metadata, including the default, the declared range, the comment and whether a restart is required.

Validation follows the rules the owning mod declares, so a value outside its type or limits is refused before it is written. Saving creates a sibling backup named with the .configworkshop.bak suffix before the file changes, and a save that fails rolls back the in-memory value so the game does not keep a change that never reached disk. Config Workshop is aimed at players who want to adjust settings without opening TOML files by hand; it works on the client only, so dedicated servers do not need it. Remote server configuration editing is included in alpha, with server-owned files shown as locked.

The mod is limited to the standard Forge configuration system and does not adopt other config libraries. A mod that provides its own config screen keeps that screen, and Config Workshop leaves its control in place. Files are published for Forge 26.2 with 0.1.0-alpha.1, and builds exist for 1.21.11 and 26.2 only. It is released under the MIT License and is not open source, as stated on the mod page.

Key features

  1. Single searchable dashboard

    All registered Forge configuration settings appear in one screen, with search across name, path, comment, type and value.

  2. Validated edits

    Changes are checked against the type rules and limits declared by the owning mod before they are saved.

  3. Backup before write

    A sibling .configworkshop.bak file is created before each save, and a failed save restores the previous in-memory value.

  4. Respects custom screens

    Mods that already provide their own config screen keep it, and the Automatic Config button integration is left as it is.

Questions

Does Config Workshop need another library?

No. The mod works with the standard Forge configuration system and states that no additional library is required.

Which Minecraft versions have files?

Files exist for 1.21.11 and 26.2. The latest Forge file is 0.1.0-alpha.1 for 26.2, published on 2026-07-29.

Does the server need Config Workshop?

No. Only the client needs Config Workshop, so a dedicated server can run without it, but in the remote editing alpha the server-owned files show as locked.

Can it edit settings from every mod?

It edits settings that are registered through Forge ForgeConfigSpec, and mods that provide their own config screen keep that control.
