How to Package Default Configs for a Modpack

Creating the Defaults Folder

If you are setting up or distributing a custom modpack, you can package your preferred configuration files so they automatically deploy to players without overwriting their custom changes on subsequent updates.

1. Open your Minecraft game directory.

2. Open the config folder.

3. Create a new subfolder inside it and name it exactly modpack_defaults.

4. Copy the mod configuration files you want to set as baseline defaults into this /config/modpack_defaults directory.

How Files Deploy to Players

Config Manager Mod automates how these files interact with the player's installation:

• When the game starts, files inside /config/modpack_defaults are copied to the player's main config directory only if those files do not already exist.
• If a player already has an existing config file, it will not be overwritten automatically during an update, preventing their personal settings from being lost.
• Players can then use the in-game Update or Reset options whenever they choose to align with your default files.
