Configuration and Integration
There is no file based config, as most of the mod's logic can be changed via components or gamerules.
If you need to change these gamerules on a global level, I would suggest the Preferred Gamerules mod.
The mod also fully supports JEI, REI and EMI via modifying their contents.
