VanillaConfig
by TreSet
VanillaConfig is a Fabric library for loading and saving mod configs, and it generates config screens that look like vanilla menus.
What it does
The library gives other mods a way to read and write their settings, and to build config screens in a style close to the vanilla game. It does nothing on its own, so it is installed only when another mod asks for it; RideHud, Audio Hotkeys and Simple Compass are among the mods that require it. Fabric API must be installed alongside it, and Mod Menu is optional for opening the screens from the mod list. Only the client needs it, and files are published for 1.19.3 – 26.3 under the GNU General Public License v3.0 only, which is open source.
Key features
Config loading and saving
Settings are read from and written to files through a shared API that other mods call.
Generated config screens
Screens are built from the config definitions and styled to match vanilla menus.
Mod Menu integration
When Mod Menu is present, config screens can be opened from its mod list.

A config API that allows for easy and flexible loading and saving of mod configs and generates vanilla-like config screens. It only does anything when installed with mod that depend on it.
