About this Mod

Keep Options

A simple Minecraft Fabric mod that preserves your settings across instances and updates.

How It Works

On game launch, Keep Options copies files from /config/keep-options/ to the game directory — but only if the target file doesn't already exist.

Usage

Place your default config files inside /config/keep-options/
Launch the game
Keep Options will copy them to the appropriate locations if they don't exist yet

Examples

Source	Destination
`/config/keep-options/options.txt`	`/options.txt`
`/config/keep-options/config/rei/config.json`	`/config/rei/config.json`

Note: Keep Options will never overwrite existing files. It only copies if the destination doesn't exist.

Why Use This?

Useful for modpack creators who want to ship default settings
Preserves your preferred options when updating or reinstalling
Works with any config file, not just options.txt

Server lagging with Keep Options – how to optimize performance?

Recommended RAM: 4 GB (per 8 players). Use /spark profiler to check if Keep Options consumes the most tick time. Common fixes: reduce server view-distance to 8-10, install "performant" or "starlight" as supplementary mods on Forge.
