Easy Config Switcher

by halfstorm

Easy Config Switcher lets a player save the current game settings as named presets and switch between them from the Mods config screen.

What it does

A preset stores the state of the Minecraft options, shaders, resource packs and mod settings at the time it is created. The player types a name, presses create preset, and confirms. To change configuration later, the player picks another preset and restarts the game, which swaps the config files over the stored ones before the next launch. Switching works on a fresh launch, so changes made in a running session are applied only after restarting.

The mod is a simple backup switch for tool settings and makes it practical to keep separate setups, such as one tuned for performance and one with heavy resource pack styles. It reads Fabric API on every loader and is published for Fabric, Forge and NeoForge across eight release versions, 1.20.1 – 26.3. Only the client needs it, and it is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, so the source code is open source.

Key features

  1. Named config presets

    Save the current options, shaders, resource packs and mod settings under a chosen name.

  2. Switch on restart

    Pick a stored preset, then restart the game so its config files replace the active ones.

  3. Mods config screen

    Presets are created, selected and confirmed from the Mods config screen in the game.

  4. Performance and resource pack setups

    Keep a lighter preset for performance and a heavier one for resource pack styles, and switch between them.

Questions

Does Easy Config Switcher need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency on every loader the mod supports. Mod Menu is optional and only adds access from the mod list.

Does the server need the mod?

No. The mod is client-side only, so a server can run without it and players install it on their own game.

Why does a switched preset need a restart?

Config files are read at launch, so a preset takes effect only after the game starts again on the fresh launch.

Which loader should be chosen?

Fabric, Forge and NeoForge builds are all published, with the latest files for 26.3 on Fabric and NeoForge and 1.21.1 on Forge.

What the author says

Works particularily well for performance presets or resourcepack styles. The preset with the given name should now appear on the titlescreen! ### Using Presets: 1. Click the desired preset on the titlescreen (or apply and restart in settings). 2. Press "Confirm?" 3. The game will shutdown and switch the config files…
