COAL - Cloth Config adapter

Minecraft 版本： 1.21.8

平台： neoforge

标签： library

Renders every COAL-using mod's settings screen
in Cloth Config, plus JSON
persistence, load-time validation, and versioned migrations.

For players

Install all three side-by-side in your mods/ folder:

1. COAL — the abstraction layer that COAL-consuming mods depend on.
2. coal-cloth-adapter — this mod.
3. Cloth Config — the GUI library that actually renders the screens.

Any mod that consumes COAL will use Cloth Config for its settings screen once
these three are installed together.

Cloth vs. YACL

Cloth Config's sub-category widget recurses cleanly, so this adapter
preserves deep-nested config trees end-to-end. YACL's equivalent flattens
after two levels. If your mods declare heavily-nested configs and you want
every level preserved in the GUI, pick this adapter.

Don't install alongside coal-yacl-adapter

Only one COAL adapter should be installed at a time. If you'd rather use
YACL, install coal-yacl-adapter
instead of this one.

For mod authors

You don't compile against this mod. Depend on coal-api +
coal-api-gui-<loader> at compile time; your users install whichever adapter
they prefer at runtime. See the docs for
the walkthrough.
