⚙️ Configuration Guide

R3CT Collector is designed to be highly customizable while keeping your data safe. The configuration is split into Client-side visual settings and Server-side mechanics.

🖥️ Client-Side Settings (In-Game)

Client settings only affect the player's personal visual experience (GUI scale) and do not change any gameplay mechanics or server rules.

Players can access these settings directly in the game:

  • Fabric: Accessible via the Mod Menu mod.
  • NeoForge: Accessible via the built-in Mods tab in the main menu.

Available Options:

  • Catalog Scale: Adjust the visual size of the Catalog Book. If the book is too small on a 4K monitor or too large on a laptop, you can tweak this value (e.g., 1.0 to 1.5).

🛠️ Server-Side Configuration (JSON Files)

If you are running a server or building a modpack, this is where the magic happens! All core mechanics are fully data-driven.

After running the game or server with the mod for the first time, navigate to the following directory: 👉 config/r3ct_collector/

Inside, you will find 3 main configuration files:

1. r3ct_collector_client.json

Stores the client-side Catalog Scale mentioned above. You usually don't need to edit this manually.

2. r3ct_collector_items.json

The master blacklist file. Controls which mods, creative tabs, or individual items should be completely ignored by the scanner and hidden from the Catalog.

3. r3ct_collector_rewards.json

The economy file. Controls XP payouts based on item rarity, interval-based milestone loot, and category completion rewards.

🛡️ The Auto-Backup System (Safe Migrations)

Don't worry about mod updates breaking your custom configs! R3CT Collector uses a built-in version tracking system. If a future update changes the structure of the JSON files:

  1. The mod will detect that your config is outdated.
  2. It will automatically rename your file to _OLD.json (saving all your hard work!).
  3. It will generate a fresh, updated default config so the game doesn't crash.
