About this project

What does Config Object Abstraction Library (COAL) add?

Config Options Abstraction Layer (COAL) is a stable API and provider SPI for Minecraft mod configuration. It plays the same role for configuration that SLF4J plays for logging: mods depend only on coal-api; the actual reading, writing, validating, migrating, and GUI-rendering of configuration is delegated to whichever ConfigProvider is on the classpath at runtime.

For players

Install this plus one adapter for any mod that uses COAL to work with a settings screen:

coal-yacl-adapter — renders settings in YetAnotherConfigLib.
coal-cloth-adapter — renders settings in Cloth Config.

Without an adapter, COAL still lets mods start — settings just fall back to their defaults and you'll see a one-time notice.

For mod authors

Depend on coal-api and let your users pick the GUI they want. See the docs for getting-started, guides, and the full specification.
