How to configure mods
If you'd like to support what I do, and get a dedicated Minecraft server in the process. Check out BisectHosting!
This page exists to help you figure out how to configure mods. Starting from Forge 1.13, the in-game config editor is not available anymore. Config files are still there, but you have to open them from outside the game. The next 14 steps will show you how to find the config files.
It starts with the game opened. Make sure you've installed Forge with the mods you want to configure and launch the game at least once.
The images are from Windows, but it's similar on Mac/Linux. If you need more help feel free to open an Issue with a question.
1: There are a few ways to get to your Minecraft instance folder. One way is to click on "Mods" in-game.
2: Then click on "Open mods folder" in the bottom left.
3: You are now in the ./mods folder. Click on .minecraft (or on the name of your instance) at the top.
4: You are now in the main Minecraft instance folder. Double click on config to open the config folder.
5: You are now in the config folder. Here you will find the config files for all mods installed. The config name is derived from the modid, which is usually just the mod name without spaces. In the case of the mod Just Mob Heads, the config file is called justmobheads-common.toml. The common suffix means that the config is used for both the server and the client. Some mods might have a different suffix, but the first part is the same.
6: Right-click the config file you want to change. Then click on Open with.
7: Click on More apps v.
8: Click on Notepad or any other text editor you prefer. Click on Ok.
9: You have now opened the config file as a text document. This file contains all of the config variables a mod author has made available.
10: In the case of Just Mob Heads, we'll change the mobSpecificDropChances line. But you can change whatever you want for your mod of course.
11: The actual config value is located after the =.
12: We'll change it from true to false. After that just save the file, a shortcut is Ctrl + S.
13: Relaunch the game.
14: That's it! You have configured the mod of your choice.
