Setting Up Default Configuration Files for Your Game

Creating the Configured Defaults Folder

Configured Defaults allows you to enforce pre-configured settings across your game directory so mods do not generate unwanted default files on startup.

1. Open your main Minecraft game directory.

2. Create a new folder named configureddefaults in this directory if it does not already exist.

3. Place any custom configuration files or folders you want to provide into this configureddefaults directory. The mod supports any file or folder type located within the main game directory.

Auto-Copying Files on Launch

Once you have staged your files:

1. Launch Minecraft.

2. During startup, Configured Defaults checks your game directory for missing configuration files and folders.

3. The mod automatically copies the missing items from configureddefaults directly into their proper locations in the game directory.

This process stops newly added mods from generating random or unexpected settings on first launch, ensuring your game always launches with the exact setup you planned.
