YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL)

# YetAnotherConfigLib  [](https://www.oracle.com/news/announcement/oracle-releases-java-17-2021-09-14) [](https://short.isxander.dev/discord) [](https://modrinth.com/mod/yacl) [](https://curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/yacl) [](https://ko-fi.com/isxander) Yet Another Config Lib, like, what were you expecting? [](https://bisecthosting.com/xander) ## 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](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config)**: **It's stale.** The developer of cloth has clarified that they are likely not going to add any more features. They don't want to touch it.

Further details available in [this issue](https://github.com/isXander/Zoomify/issues/85). - **[OwoLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/owo-lib)**: **It's content focused.** It does a lot of other things as well as config, adding to the size. 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. Whilst developing this fresh library, I can make sure that it does everything right: - **Easy API.** YACL takes inspiration from [Sodium's](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium) 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](https://github.com/isXander/YetAnotherConfigLib/wiki/Usage) contains a full documentation on how to use YACL. ## Screenshots  ## License This mod is under the [GNU Lesser General Public License, v3.0](LICENSE).
