# 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](/cloth-config/master.md) 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.
