The NeoForge / Forge config system features three dedicated types of configs specified by ModConfig.Type. Depending on the scope and time you want your config values to be available, you will have to choose one or multiple types for your project.

To help select the correct type, here is a basic overview of differences between all three.

Common Config Type

  • Physical Loading Environment: Client & Server
  • Loading Point: Mod Loading
  • Config File Location: .minecraft/config
  • Synchronized to Logical Clients: ❌

Client Config Type

  • Physical Loading Environment: Client
  • Loading Point: Mod Loading
  • Config File Location: .minecraft/config
  • Synchronized to Logical Clients: ❌

Server Config Type

  • Physical Loading Environment: Client & Server
  • Loading Point: World Loading
  • Config File Location: .minecraft/saves/<world>/serverconfig (per-world)
  • Synchronized to Logical Clients: ✅
