Config Object Abstraction Library (COAL)

Config Options Abstraction Layer (COAL) is a stable API and
provider SPI for Minecraft mod configuration. It plays the same role for
configuration that SLF4J plays for logging: mods depend only on coal-api;
the actual reading, writing, validating, migrating, and GUI-rendering of
configuration is delegated to whichever ConfigProvider is on the classpath
at runtime.

For players

Install this plus one adapter for any mod that uses COAL to work with a
settings screen:

• coal-yacl-adapter — renders settings in
  YetAnotherConfigLib.
• coal-cloth-adapter — renders settings in
  Cloth Config.

Without an adapter, COAL still lets mods start — settings just fall back to
their defaults and you’ll see a one-time notice.

For mod authors

Depend on coal-api and let your users pick the GUI they want. See the
docs for getting-started, guides, and the
full specification.
