Global Server Config

by TJT01

Global Server Config makes Forge read server configs from the shared global config folder, so one set of files serves every world on the server.

ForgeServer-side onlyThe UnlicenseOpen source1.18.2 – 1.20.4

What it does

Normally Forge stores server configs in each world's serverconfig folder. With this mod installed, those files are loaded from the global config directory in the game folder, the same place client and common configs live. All worlds on the server then share a single set of config files. Server configs only appear once a world has been loaded.

Key features

  1. Shared server configs

    Server config files are read from one global folder, so every world uses the same settings.

  2. Global config directory

    The files sit beside client and common configs in the game directory instead of inside each world save.

  3. Load a world first

    Server config files show up only after a world has been loaded at least once.

Questions

Does Global Server Config need to be installed on the client?

No. Only the server needs it, and players join without installing anything.

Why do server configs not appear after installing?

Server config files are only created when a world is loaded, so a world must be started once.

What the author says

A simple mod that makes the Forge config system load configs from the global config folder in the game directory (where client and common configs are) instead of the world's serverconfig folder. This means that all of your worlds will share the same config files. Note: You need to load a world for server configs to…
