Understand Config File Organization
Where Settings Are Stored
Konfig Mod saves all settings as TOML files in your .minecraft/config folder. Each mod using Konfig gets its own folder containing:
- Client settings: Apply only to your game instance
- Server settings: Synced from the server when you join (server values override your local ones)
- Common settings: Shared between client and server
Reading and Editing Config Files
You can open these TOML files with any text editor. Each setting includes:
- A clear name and description
- The current value
- Comments explaining what the setting does
- Version information for tracking updates
While you can edit files directly, using the in-game menu is safer and prevents syntax errors. If you manually edit a file, reload your game or use the mod's reload function to apply changes.
Version Tracking
Konfig automatically tracks schema versions. If a mod updates and adds new settings, your old config values migrate forward without being lost, and new defaults appear alongside your existing preferences.
