Better Config Mod (1.12.2) – Tweak Old Forge Mod Settings Without Leaving

Better Config Mod extends Forge’s annotation-based config system so it can handle nested arrays, collections, and arrays, collections, or maps of objects. For players, this mod lets you edit settings in-game for mods that use Forge’s older net.minecraftforge.common.config.Configuration class. These settings normally can’t be changed from inside the game.

Features:

• In-Game Editing: Lets you change settings through the in-game GUI for mods that use the older Forge Configuration class.
• Nested Data: Adds the ability to use nested arrays and collections in mod config files.
• Handles arrays, collections, and maps of objects, not just simple values.
• Works as a library mod that other mods build their settings on.
• Some changes may need a game restart before they work, depending on how the other mod reads its settings.

How to Use:

1. Add this line to the dependencies in your build script: implementation fg.deobf('io.github.meldexun:betterconfig:1.12.2-1.3.0')
2. Mark your config class with @BetterConfig instead of @Config.
3. Replace every ConfigManager.sync(String, Type) call with BetterConfigManager.sync(String).
4. Run your mod. The library now takes care of your config.
