Default Options
A way for modpacks to ship a default (key) configuration without having to include an options.txt file. Also allows local options from any mod .cfg file.
Quick answer
Which Default Options release matches 26.1 NeoForge?
Default Options defaultoptions-neoforge-26.1-26.1.0.1.jar targets 26.1, 26.1.1, 26.1.2 with NeoForge. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server. 1 required mod needs a matching file.
Where it goes
Is Default Options required on the client, server, or both?
The project page does not say whether it belongs on the client. The project page does not say whether it belongs on the dedicated server.
The source does not explicitly classify this release as client-only or server-only.
What else does Default Options defaultoptions-neoforge-26.1-26.1.0.1.jar need?
defaultoptions-neoforge-26.1-26.1.0.1.jar on 26.1 NeoForge. Every mod below is checked against that same setup.
Install Balm first, but 1 required mod has no matching file for this setup. Do not mix loader builds to force a match.
We only count dependency files that match this setup. A file for another loader does not fill the gap.

About this project
What does Default Options add?

This mod can be used by Modpack developers to distribute default options and keybindings without overriding user changes on every modpack update.
Instead of shipping the options.txt directly, you will ship a "defaultoptions" folder in your modpack which contains the defaults previously saved through the /defaultoptions command.
This mod is available for NeoForge, Fabric and Forge. It requires Balm, which must be installed alongside the mod.
- On the first run, users will start out with the options you configured - and future changes won't be overridden on updated
- Keybinds configured by the modpack will be set as new defaults, meaning changes made by users will persist even on updates
- The server list will be pre-populated with the server list provided by the modpack (and user changes will persist on updates, still)
- Configure the options, keybinds and server list as you would like them to be shipped in the modpack
- Join any world and run "/defaultoptions saveAll" to save your current options in the defaultoptions folder (located in the config folder where it should remain)
- Do not include the options.txt and servers.dat from the root directory in your modpack
- Fresh installations (meaning no existing options.txt) will now start out with your default options
If you are using FoamFix Anarchy Version, disable B:initOptions in the FoamFix config or else Default Options will not work. See this GitHub issue for more info.
