Frequently asked questions

Where do I find my mod config files?

Config files are usually stored in your game's `config` folder, which is created in your main Minecraft directory when you first launch the game with mods installed. Shadow Config Mod reads and saves files from this location automatically, so you can navigate there to view or edit them manually if needed.

Why is my config file broken or won't load?

Shadow Config Mod can automatically repair outdated or corrupted configuration files when you update a mod, but if a file is severely damaged, you may need to delete it and let the mod regenerate it on the next launch. Check the file format (JSON, TOML, or YAML) to ensure it matches what the mod expects—mismatched formats will cause errors.

What's the difference between JSON, TOML, and YAML config files?

JSON uses curly brackets and is strict about formatting, TOML is human-readable with clear section headers, and YAML uses indentation to organize data. Shadow Config Mod supports all three, so the choice depends on what the mod developer chose—you don't need to convert between them.

Can I edit config files while the game is running?

You should not edit config files while the game is running, as Shadow Config Mod may overwrite your changes when it saves on exit. Always close the game, make your edits, then restart to ensure your changes are preserved.
