How to Update Configs Without Losing Personal Settings
Applying Modpack Configuration Changes
When a modpack releases a new update, it often includes adjusted mod configurations to fix bugs or balance gameplay. Config Manager Mod lets you apply these updates while protecting your own modifications.
1. Open the pause menu or title screen.
2. Navigate to the Config Manager interface using Mod Menu (on Fabric) or the standard Mods list (on NeoForge).
3. Click the Update button.
How the Update System Works
When you select Update, the mod inspects the configuration files packaged with the modpack:
- It updates your configuration files based on the modpack package.
- It overwrites previously adjusted settings from older versions.
- It preserves your custom user-changed settings rather than replacing everything.
This ensures that you gain the benefits of the modpack's latest tweaks while keeping the custom preferences you previously set up during your playthrough.
