Shadow Config Mod FAQ

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.

Shadow Config Mod can automatically repair outdated or corrupted configuration files when you update a mod, but if a file is severely damaged, you may need to delete it and let the mod regenerate it on the next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.

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.

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.

Shadow Config Mod is a library that other mods depend on, so it's often included automatically when you install a mod pack or download a mod that uses it. You can verify it's installed by checking your mods list in-game.

No—Shadow Config Mod is designed to run quietly in the background without causing lag or slowing down your computer. It only reads and saves files when needed, so it has minimal impact on performance.

Shadow Config Mod automatically detects when a mod has new settings and updates your config file to include them, preserving your existing settings while adding the new ones. This prevents crashes from missing or outdated configuration options.

Shadow Config Mod keeps helpful text notes inside config files so you know exactly what each setting does and what values are valid. These comments don't affect how the mod works—they're just there to help you understand your options.

Yes—Shadow Config Mod is designed to save complicated lists, arrays, and decimal numbers correctly so the game reads them without errors. You can safely use these data types in your config files without worrying about formatting issues.

Shadow Config Mod is built to work properly across different mod loaders, making it a compatible tool for many popular mods regardless of which loader you're using. Check the mod's documentation if you encounter compatibility issues with a specific loader.
