Quick Start

Here is how easy it is to set up a config:

public class YourMod implements ClientModInitializer {
    
    @Override
    public void onInitializeClient() {
        ModernConfig config = ConfigBuilder.create("YourMod", "Your Mod Configuration")
            .toggle("enabled", "Enable Mod", true)
            .slider("power", "Power Level", 50, 0, 100, 1)
            .text("username", "Player Name", "Steve")
            .color("theme_color", "Theme Color", 0x4A90E2)
            .list("whitelist", "Player Whitelist", "Player Name")
            .dropdown("difficulty", "Difficulty", Arrays.asList("Easy", "Normal", "Hard"), "Normal")
            .build();
    }
}

Using Categories

When you have lots of settings, organize them into categories:

ModernConfig config = ConfigBuilder.create("AdvancedMod", "Advanced Mod Settings")
    .category("general", "General Settings", "Main configuration options", category -> category
        .toggle("enabled", "Enable Mod", true)
        .slider("update_interval", "Update Interval", 20, 1, 100, 1)
        .text("server_url", "Server URL", "https://api.example.com")
    )
    .category("ui", "User Interface", "Customize the user interface", category -> category
        .color("primary_color", "Primary Color", 0x4A90E2)
        .color("secondary_color", "Secondary Color", 0x2ECC71)
        .dropdown("theme", "Theme", Arrays.asList("Dark", "Light", "Auto"), "Dark")
        .slider("ui_scale", "UI Scale", 1.0f, 0.5f, 2.0f, 0.1f)
    )
    .category("advanced", "Advanced Settings", "Advanced configuration options", category -> category
        .toggle("debug_mode", "Debug Mode", false)
        .list("blocked_items", "Blocked Items", "Item ID")
        .list("whitelist", "Whitelisted Servers", "IP")
        .text("api_key", "API Key", "")
    )
    .build();

Accessing Configuration Values

// Get configuration options by category path
ConfigOption<?> enabledOption = config.getOption("general", "enabled");
ConfigOption<?> updateOption = config.getOption("general", "update_interval");
ConfigOption<?> whitelistOption = config.getOption("advanced", "whitelist");

// Get the actual values
boolean isEnabled = (Boolean) enabledOption.getValue();
int updateInterval = (Integer) updateOption.getValue();
List<String> whitelist = (List<String>) whitelistOption.getValue();
