ParadoxConfig
ParadoxConfig is a Fabric library for mod authors who need a configuration API written in Kotlin.
What it does
The library gives other Fabric mods a lightweight, version-agnostic configuration API written in Kotlin. Developers building on it use it to define and read their config files without writing the plumbing themselves. Client and server both need it, so it must be present on every player and server that runs a mod depending on it. It is open source under the MIT License and published for 1.17 and 1.17.1, with 0.5.1-beta for 1.17.1 as the latest Fabric file.
