YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL)

by isxander

Other mods build their config screens with YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), a builder-based library whose screens match the game's own menus.

What it does

YACL gives mod developers an API for building configuration screens. Options are declared with builders, and the library draws the screen in a style that matches the game's own menus. It supports rich option descriptions and custom controller widgets when the default controls do not fit.

Players install YACL because other mods require it: 724 catalog mods list it, including Zoomify (Zoom), Debugify and Controlify (Controller support). On Fabric it requires Fabric API. Its license, GNU Lesser General Public License v3.0 or later, is open source, and documentation lives in the project wiki.

Key features

  1. Builder API

    Config screens are defined in code with builders, keeping option definitions short and readable.

  2. Game-style GUI

    Generated screens follow the look of the game's own menus rather than a separate widget style.

  3. Custom controllers

    Developers can create their own controller widgets when the built-in set does not cover an option type.

  4. Rich descriptions

    Each option can carry a description shown next to it, so players see what a setting changes.
