Frequently Asked Questions

Isn't Cloth Config client sided only?

Yes, Cloth Config is client sided only. However, Cloth Config is only a config screen API, not actually a fully configuration API. You can simply ignore Cloth Config when you are on the client, or you can ask the server to send the client a copy of the config and sync it over when the user saves from Cloth Config.

Are you still maintaining Cloth / Auto Config?

Yes, but only to fix bugs and update it to new Minecraft versions, you can see Introduction to Cloth Config for the list of supported Minecraft versions, I tend to maintain support for a long time. Cloth / Auto Config is unlikely to receive new features.

Are there any alternatives to Cloth / Auto Config?

Here are some notable alternatives that I think (personally), are pretty good as well.

• MidnightConfig: https://github.com/TeamMidnightDust/MidnightLib/wiki

• owo-lib: https://docs.wispforest.io/owo/config/

• OroConfig: https://github.com/OroArmor/Oro-Config

• Omega Config: https://github.com/Draylar/omega-config

I still think other's config screens kinda suck - shedaniel 2022
