About this Mod

This is a Config API for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt.

It has a Config Screen, which is automatically added, if the specific mod uses this as config system.

This is a "core" mod, specifically designed for multiloader projects. It allows you to create easily new configs, for Client, Common and Server, in the style of Forge's and NeoForge's Config System.

Why you should use this instead of Forge's and NeoForge's Config System?

  • Automatically adds a fully functional Config Screen
  • You can use more methods like getComments(), getKey(), getRange(), etc.
  • It's cross-platform for Fabric, Forge, NeoForge and Quilt

For developer
  1. Open your build.gradle
  2. Add this plugin to your other plugins
    • plugins {
          id 'io.github.0ffz.github-packages' version '1.2.+'
      }
      
  3. Next step is, to add this repository:
    • repositories {
        maven githubPackage.invoke("Craftjakob/Config-API")
      }
      
  4. After that, you can add a dependency and choose one of these implementations for your project. (If you can not use 'modImplementation' use 'compileOnly' and 'runtimeOnly')
    • dependencies {
        modImplementation "com.craftjakob:configapi-common:${mc_version}-${configapi_version}"
        modImplementation "com.craftjakob:configapi-fabric:${mc_version}-${configapi_version}"
        modImplementation "com.craftjakob:configapi-forge:${mc_version}-${configapi_version}"
        modImplementation "com.craftjakob:configapi-neoforge:${mc_version}-${configapi_version}"
        modImplementation "com.craftjakob:configapi-quilt:${mc_version}-${configapi_version}"
      }
      
  5. Finally, you can reload your build.gradle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Config API server crashes on startup – what to do?

Most common cause: wrong fabric version or insufficient RAM. Check the server log (latest.log) for "OutOfMemoryError" or "Mixin" errors. With Mado Hosting: ensure at least 3 GB RAM is allocated and the loader matches the mod version (26.1.2). You can switch loaders with one click in the panel.

Is Config API compatible with fabric and forge and neoforge and quilt?

Config API officially supports fabric, forge, neoforge, quilt for Minecraft 26.1.2, 26.1.1, 26.1. Note: Forge and Fabric mods are NOT cross-compatible – pick one loader and stick with it. The Mado dashboard automatically detects incompatible loader combinations.

Server lagging with Config API – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Config API consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge. With Mado Hosting, your server runs on NVMe SSDs with dedicated CPU cores for minimal latency.
