Editing JSON Config Files Powered by Cupboard

Because Cupboard Mod supplies a shared JSON configuration framework, any mod in your pack that depends on Cupboard stores its settings in plain-text JSON files rather than standard TOML or CFG formats. You can edit these files directly to customize gameplay rules.

Locating Your JSON Settings

1. Close Minecraft completely so the game does not overwrite your changes on exit.

2. Open your Minecraft instance directory (accessible from your launcher's instance folder shortcut, or inside your .minecraft directory).

3. Open the config folder.

4. Look for .json files named after the mods in your pack that require Cupboard.

Safely Changing Values

JSON files are strict about punctuation. A single missing comma or quotation mark will break the file and either reset your settings or trigger a startup error.

1. Open the target .json file using any plain text editor, such as Notepad.

2. Locate the setting you want to adjust. Keep text strings inside double quotes, leave true or false toggles unquoted, and ensure every line inside a list (except the very last item) ends with a comma.

3. Save the file and launch Minecraft.

4. If you accidentally make a formatting mistake and the game fails to read the file, check your latest game log—Cupboard's error logging will point out what went wrong so you can fix the typo or delete the broken file to let the mod generate a fresh copy.
