Configs

[Scottly318]

So I'm debating making my own mod pack. However im not very astute when it comes to changing things in a mods config file. Anyone got any tips?

Most mod configs should have some comments that explain what the config setting does.

#Enabled / Disables Ritual Crafting
ritualCraft=True

Is there a specific way to get at the configs? I've tried to get into them but I get a "which program" prompt

And thanks for giving me the basics

just go to %appdata%/.minecraft/config/(Example)forge.cfg

You can edit there or use GUI Factory (The ingame config thingy)

All of the above assumes you are using a Windows machine, of course.

Someone knowledgeable with the Mac may want to contribute file locations and editing software names to make the thread more complete.

Perhaps it's similar to Linux, since both it and MacOS are based on Unix?

Any text editor on the Mac, just save it as plain text. I use TextEdit. the file tree folder structure is FTB/(your chosen FTB pack)/minecraft/config

Also, make sure you make a copy of your config folder every now and then to a completely different location. I didn't, which is why I now give out this advice.

 

[Hambeau]

You can still use any plain text editor.

Does vi, EMACS or TICO come with the MacOS?

As a Linux user, I can confirm the internals of MacOS are very close to that of most Linux OSes. And config files in Linux open just fine with any text editor.
