Configuration Center

SCP Additions includes a native server-authoritative configuration center.

Open it while connected to a world through:

Mods → SCP Additions → Config

or:

/scpadditions config

Permissions

Configuration writes require:

  • the integrated single-player owner; or
  • operator permission level 2 or higher.

Clients edit a server snapshot. Saves are validated and applied by the server.

Available editors

  • General & Modules — inventory, interactions, HUD, vitals, movement, blink, world-entry audio, and SCP-173 switches.
  • Inventory, Equipment & Codex — item rules, equipment effects, hidden Status effects, SCP-173 targets, and documents.
  • Contextual Interactions — block/entity prompts and anchors.
  • SCP-294 Drinks — aliases, results, colors, effects, actions, and matching behavior.
  • SCP-914 Recipes — explicit item/entity transformations and machine settings.
  • Accessibility — photosensitivity and other presentation options that preserve gameplay behavior.
  • Debug Tools — optional SCP-079 processing power, SCP-079 decision history, and roamer spawn-timer displays.

The portable Crafting tab, learned recipes, SCP-012 mechanics, SCP-106, SCP-714, and the Hazmat Suit do not currently expose separate Configuration Center editors. SCP-012 does have an Accessibility option for reducing its flashing presentation.

Save behavior

Supported saves provide:

  • JSON validation;
  • automatic .bak backup creation;
  • Windows-resilient replacement;
  • rollback when reload fails;
  • runtime reload without restarting the game;
  • warnings for unavailable optional registry IDs.

Malformed JSON and malformed identifiers are rejected. Existing unknown fields are preserved wherever the editor does not own them.

Item and interaction editor with K

Pressing K is the recommended quick workflow:

  • hover an item in the SCP or vanilla inventory to edit its generic category and equipment effects;
  • look at a block or entity to edit its contextual interaction;
  • use Forget to remove an explicit item or interaction rule.

Documents are not assigned through the generic item-category editor. Use Codex Documents instead.

Status-effect visibility

The hidden Status-effects editor controls which ordinary effects are omitted from the Conditions list.

Eye Sore, Lubricated Eye, and Bleeding are visible by default but remain excluded from the in-world effect HUD. SCP-1176 Honeyed is an internal synchronization marker and is hidden independently of this list.

Accessibility

The Accessibility screen currently contains a Photosensitive Epilepsy section with Reduce SCP-012 Visual Effects.

When enabled, this option removes SCP-012's rapidly flashing interference and subliminal full-screen images during psychosis. It preserves the gradual veil, smooth vignette, attraction, camera influence, damage, Bleeding, audio, and every other gameplay consequence.

Debug Tools

The optional developer displays are disabled by default:

  • SCP-079 Energy HUD — current processing power;
  • SCP-079 Decision Log HUD — recent actions, outcomes, costs, context, dimensions, and manipulated devices;
  • SCP Spawn Timers HUD — each roamer's scheduler state, countdown, and latest result.

These displays expose existing server state and do not enable SCP-079 System Control or roamer spawning by themselves.

Codex workflow

  1. Open Inventory, Equipment & Codex → Codex Documents.
  2. Create a paper-based temporary definition or edit an existing one.
  3. Choose ordinary item matching or Unique Generated Item.
  4. Import a PNG/JPG/JPEG image, write text, or reference packaged resources.
  5. Press Save Document to persist and reload the definition.
  6. In unique mode, use Save & Give Test Item to save first and then generate the NBT-tagged document.

Reload Snapshot

Reload Snapshot discards unsaved local edits and requests the current server configuration again.
