config-workshop
by kazo
Config Workshop gives Forge players one searchable dashboard for editing the registered configuration files of installed mods, in-game.
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
Single searchable dashboard
All registered Forge configuration settings appear in one screen, with search across name, path, comment, type and value.
Validated edits
Changes are checked against the type rules and limits declared by the owning mod before they are saved.
Backup before write
A sibling .configworkshop.bak file is created before each save, and a failed save restores the previous in-memory value.
Respects custom screens
Mods that already provide their own config screen keep it, and the Automatic Config button integration is left as it is.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
