Frequently asked questions

How do I open the config screen for a mod?

Most mods using Config API Mod will have a Config button in the mod list screen, or you can access settings through the main menu if the mod integrates it there. The exact location depends on how the mod developer implemented it, but it's typically one click away from the mod list.

Can I edit config files directly or do I have to use the config screen?

You can edit config files directly with a text editor if you prefer, but the Config Screen is designed to be safer and easier—it validates your changes and prevents syntax errors. Changes made through the screen take effect immediately without needing to restart.

Why isn't a config screen showing up for my mod?

The mod must be built to support Config API Mod; not all mods use this system. Check the mod's description or documentation to confirm it integrates with Config API Mod, and ensure you have the latest version of both the mod and Config API Mod installed.

What do the different setting types mean?

Settings can be toggles (on/off), sliders (numeric ranges), text fields, or dropdown lists depending on what the mod developer configured. Hover over or check the setting's description in the Config Screen to understand what each one controls.
