About

YetAnotherConfigLib

Yet Another Config Lib, like, what were you expecting?

Why does this mod even exist?

This mod was made to fill a hole in this area of Fabric modding. The existing main config libraries don't achieve what I want from them:

Cloth Config API: It's stale. The developer of cloth has clarified that they are likely not going to add any more features.
SpruceUI: It isn't designed for configuration. The design feels cluttered.
OwoLib: It's content focused. Adds to the size with other features.

As you can see, there's sadly a drawback with all of them and this is where YetAnotherConfigLib comes in.

How is YACL better?

YACL has the favour of hindsight. While developing this fresh library, I can make sure that it does everything right:

Easy API. YACL takes inspiration from Sodium's internal configuration library.
It's styled to fit in Minecraft. YACL's GUI is designed to fit right in.

Features

YACL has a ton of configuration features:

Custom control widgets
- Create your own unique "controller" if the default set does not suit your needs
Rich descriptions
- Clickable & hoverable text, powered by vanilla's Text component system
- WebP (including animated) image previews
- Custom rich-renderable section to replace image
Multiple controllers for the same type:
- Sliders or fields for numbers
- Dropdowns, cyclers, or raw text fields for strings
- Tickboxes or ON/OFF text display for booleans
- ...and more!
Fully-featured color picker
Accessible with full compatibility for keyboard control (optimised for Controlify usage)
High organisation with tabs (categories) and collapsable groups
Built-in serialization/deserialization techniques so you can skip the error-prone config code
Full alternative Kotlin DSL

Usage

The wiki contains a full documentation on how to use YACL.
