Craft Config Lib

by tricube

Craft Config Lib is a client-side configuration library that manages presets, keybinds and config screens for other Fabric, Forge and NeoForge mods.

FabricForgeNeoForgeClient-side onlyMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.1 – 26.3

What it does

Configuration presets let a player switch between several saved configs quickly, and a preset can be applied automatically when a specific world or server is joined. The library also creates boolean options that can be bound to a key, so a toggle needs no separate keybind code in the mod that uses it.

Config screens are registered automatically, so a mod using the library does not have to register each config by hand. Only the client runs the library, which means servers do not need it. Craft Config Lib is open source under the MIT License, and it requires Fabric API. Files exist for 1.20.1 and for 1.21.1 – 26.3, across 17 release versions in total, with the latest Fabric build 1.1.13+26.3-fabric dated 2026-09-16.

Four catalog mods require the library, among them Better Tab Info, Optimized Fullbright, Holo Damage Indicator and Blocks Previewer. Mod authors who need configuration screens or keybind toggles can depend on it instead of writing those systems themselves.

Key features

  1. Config presets

    Several configs can be saved and swapped in quickly, so one setup does not have to be rebuilt for each play style.

  2. Automatic preset switching

    A preset can be applied on specific worlds or servers, so the matching config loads when that world is joined.

  3. Keybind toggles

    Boolean options are created automatically and can be bound to a key, with no keybind code in the dependent mod.

  4. Automatic config registration

    Config screens are registered without manual setup, reducing the code a dependent mod must write.

Use cases

Switching setups by world

A player keeps separate configs for a creative world and a survival server and lets the preset apply on join.

Adding keybind toggles to a mod

A mod author exposes on/off options that players can bind to keys without writing keybind handling.

Who it’s for: Players who run several client-side mods with configuration screens, and mod authors who want presets, keybind toggles and automatic config screens without writing that code.
