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. They don't want to touch it. (citation)

- SpruceUI: It isn't designed for configuration. In this essence the design feels cluttered. Further details available in this issue.

- OwoLib: 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 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.
