Options Reload

by Awakened-Redstone

Options Reload lets players re-read the options.txt file during play, so edited game settings apply without restarting the game.

FabricClient-side onlyGNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 onlyOpen source1.19 – 1.20.6

What it does

Changes to options.txt take effect after the player presses F3 + O, which reloads the game options while the client keeps running. The mod is a simple utility that works through a screen override, so no separate menu is needed. It is client-side only, so servers do not need it, and it requires Fabric API. Files are published for Fabric across 12 release versions, 1.19 – 1.20.6, and the latest is 1.1.1 for 1.20.6.

Key features

  1. Reload with F3 + O

    Pressing F3 + O re-reads options.txt, applying edited settings without a restart.

  2. Screen override

    The reload runs through a screen override, so the keybind works in normal gameplay.

  3. Open source

    The code is open source under the GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 only and has a public source repository and issue tracker.

Questions

Does Options Reload need Fabric API?

Yes. Fabric API is a required dependency and must be installed alongside Options Reload on Fabric.

Does the server need Options Reload?

No. It is installed on the player's side alone, so servers need nothing.
