Managing HUD Settings via the Database and Config File
Locating the Data Files
Coords HUD Mod stores its settings in a dedicated config or database file rather than saving data inside the Minecraft world save. This separation ensures better organization, prevents world save bloat, and simplifies maintenance.
1. Open your server or Minecraft instance folder.
2. Access the configuration directory where the mod's dedicated config/database file resides.
3. Identify the file designated for Coords HUD Mod data.
Editing and Backing Up Settings
Because data is stored outside the world save, managing and transferring HUD preferences across different worlds or server instances is straightforward.
- Open the config/database file using a text editor to view the stored preferences and HUD layout values.
- Make any necessary adjustments to message formats, placeholder definitions, or display rules directly in the file.
- Save your changes before restarting the server or reloading your environment.
- Create a backup copy of the database or config file prior to making major adjustments; this allows you to revert your HUD layout quickly without touching world save files.
