Glass Config API

by calmilamsy

Glass Config API lets mod authors create syncing configuration screens for Babric, Fabric and Ornithe on the b1.7.3 game version.

FabricBabricOrnitheClient or server, optionalCC0 1.0 UniversalOpen sourceb1.7.3

What it does

The API generates a configuration screen automatically from a config definition, and it can also host custom screens with their own value save and load logic. Configs are stored as JSON files, and syncing between server and players, along with hot-reloading and descriptions, is built in. Either side can run it alone, and neither needs it. It requires Glass Networking and works with Mod Menu Babric for an entry point in the mod list. Its source is public under CC0 1.0 Universal, so the code is open source.

Key features

  1. Syncing configs

    Configuration values are synchronized between server and players, and the config files reload without restarting the game.

  2. Automatic config screen

    A config screen is generated from the definition, with optional support for opening it from the mod list.

  3. Custom screens and logic

    Authors can build their own configuration screens and define how values are saved and loaded.

No per-version build data
Modrinth lists game versions for this project (b1.7.3), but the source data has no build per game version and loader, so the compatibility grid is not shown.

What the author says

An API heavily inspired by Cloth Config for beta 1.7.3, which makes it extremely easy to add configuration to your mod. For players, this adds an autogenerated config screen to ModMenu Beta for easy editing of config files. This won't do anything without any mods that use this.
