Config Search

Fabric only, client side. Requires Mod Menu and Fabric API.

ABOUT

Ever known a mod has a setting for something but not which screen its buried in? Config Search adds a small search button next to the search field on Mod Menu’s Mods screen. Here you can search through all configs, results match against option names, tooltips, categories and mod names in your selected language. Clicking a result opens that mod’s config screen, jumping straight to the right category where the config library supports it.

HOW IT WORKS

• A magnifier button appears next to Mod Menu’s search field.
• Search runs across every installed mod at once, in your language.
• Results show the full breadcrumb so you know exactly where a setting lives.
• Clicking a result opens that mod’s config screen, deep linked to the right page where the config library allows it.
• The index is built the first time you open it and cached, so searching stays snappy.

SUPPORTED CONFIG LIBRARIES

Config Search reads options directly from the common config libraries:

• YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL) 3.x
• Cloth Config
• MidnightLib
• Forge Config API Port (1.21.1+)
• Configured by MrCrayfish (1.20.1 to 1.21.11)

Mods using other config libraries or hand written config screens still show up as a single result that opens their config screen, so nothing is left out.

FOR MOD DEVELOPERS

Your mod can feed its options straight into the search index with the configsearch entrypoint, which is handy if you use a custom config screen. Config library authors can register one extractor to cover every mod using their library. Full details and a code sample are in the README.
