Config Swapper

Config Swapper is a tool designed for switching out a predefined amount of config options. Useful for changing game modes.

It does this by finding and changing the Strings in the actual config file. 

This means it should be compatible with most mods, even if they implement some form of custom config (only configs in TOML format are supported at this time).  

Config Swapper adds a command to change config "/mode <modename>" and also a file called mode.json with the current mode in the root directory of the instance. 

The mode in the mode.json gets applied to the game on launch in order to support pack updates.

Whether a specific config options requires a restart depends on the individual mods. Contact the specific mod developer if you need it. 

The /mode command also runs a /reload to make sure the player doesn't forget to. 

Please keep in mind that Configswapper cannot revert a mode in any way. As such all config changes need to the specified in every mode. 

Creating a Config Mode

On initial load, the mod will create a folder in the config folder called "configswapper".

In here, create a folder with your mode name. e.g. "expert". 

In this folder use the same folder structure as from the instances root. 

e.g. to change values in config/forge-client.toml add a folder called config and a file called forge-client.toml.

Add the category and key + value combination of the config you want to change to the file in the same format as it is in the original.

The simplest way is to copy the original and remove all values to you do not want to change.

For serverconfigs put them into a folder called serverconfig.
