ModConfigEditor
by Itamio
ModConfigEditor gives players a graphical screen for opening and changing the configuration files of installed mods, instead of editing them by hand in a text editor.
What it does
Players who want to adjust a mod's settings usually have to locate the right file inside the instance's minecraft/config folder and edit it in a plain text editor. ModConfigEditor replaces that routine with an in-game interface where config files can be browsed and edited directly.
The mod also scans for the config files that installed mods create, so it can list them without the user having to type in each file path. A user-friendly add button lets a file be picked from the disk when it is not detected automatically. The mod runs on the client only, so a server does not need it, and it targets Forge for 1.8.9 with version 1.0.0 as the latest file, released on 2025-07-14. The code is All rights reserved and is not open source.
Key features
In-game config editing
Config files are opened and changed in a graphical screen, without leaving the game or using an external text editor.
Automatic config detection
The mod finds the configuration files that installed mods create, so the list does not have to be assembled by hand.
File picker for added configs
Config files that are not detected can be added through a file selection dialog, which removes the need to locate them in the instance folder.
Quicker access to settings
Settings are reached from inside Minecraft, which saves the steps of finding the instance's minecraft/config folder each time a change is needed.
Compatibility
Latest build for each game version and loader.
Only full game releases are shown. This mod publishes no snapshot builds.
Use cases
Tuning many mods at once
A player with a large modpack can adjust the settings of several mods from one place instead of opening each file separately.
Adding a config the mod missed
When a mod stores its settings in a file that is not detected, the file picker can register it so it appears in the editor.
Who it’s for: Players on Minecraft 1.8.9 with Forge who maintain modpacks or simply want to change mod settings without working in the config folder by hand.
