Persistent Options
Persistent Options is a client-side mod that keeps a player's chosen settings in place when they switch between modpacks and instances.
What it does
Settings changed in the options menu are saved automatically when the menu is closed, and the saved values are restored at game startup. A player who prefers particular options therefore does not have to set them again in each new instance or modpack.
The mod remembers preferred settings and restores them without reconfiguring the time spent on install of a new modpack. It runs on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge through Architectury, so one build covers the common loader choices. Fabric files cover 1.20.1 – 1.21.11, Forge files 1.20.1 – 1.20.4 and NeoForge files 1.20.4 – 1.21.11. The mod is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later and is open source, with public source code and an issue tracker.
Key features
Automatic saving
Settings are written to storage as soon as the options menu is left, so no manual save step is needed.
Restore at startup
Saved preferences are applied when the game launches, before the main menu appears.
Works across instances
Preferences carry over between separate instances and modpacks that the player runs on the same installation.
Architectury multiloader
A single codebase built with Architectury produces the Fabric, Forge and NeoForge versions.
Compatibility

Use cases
Switching modpacks
A player who tries several modpacks keeps the same graphics, controls and interface preferences in each one.
Testing new releases
A player moving to a newer game version keeps familiar settings in place from the earlier instance.
Who it’s for: Players who run several modpacks or instances and want their personal settings to follow them. The mod is client-side only, so server owners do not need to install it.
How it compares
Keep my Options is installed the same way on Fabric, Forge and NeoForge, but it covers 1.20.1 – 26.2 and is released under All rights reserved, so it is not open source. Static Options is client-side only, open source under the MIT License and published for 1.13 – 1.21.8 on Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt, so its version range ends before Persistent Options' 1.21.11 builds.
