YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL)

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
