Hey, I'm experiencing some issues with configs recently, here is my problem:

Whenever you try to edit the config, there's a chance that it resets the whole config to default values, even if the values you've modified are valid.

Error Message:

[Thread-1/WARN] [ne.mi.fm.co.ConfigFileTypeHandler/CONFIG]: Configuration file run\.\saves\New World (4)\serverconfig\ava-server.toml is not correct. Correcting

then it creates a backup file (.toml.bak)

I've no idea where went wrong as ForgeConfigSpec is final which I can not debug through custom corrections (ForgeConfigSpec#correct, ConfigFileTypeHandler.ConfigWatcher#run) by creating my own config spec. 

Code:

ServerConfig

Config Registering

What is happening?

I'll try to help, but the only type of Config I've written is a Common type, if this is something specific to Server type. Is this only happening after editing certain config options or any of them? Nothing appears wrong with the numerical range configs

It happens randomly, sometimes when the changes are applied to any int, bool, double, string value the whole config gets reset, and unfortunately it does not provide any error message that tells where the error occurs.

I can say the numeric values are always in range, and there are no typos for bool values because if for example I insert 20 into a field that accepts range 0 ~ 10, only the field will gets reset, not all the config file.

If I types flse instead of false, it will throw an exception, and won't reset the whole config file neither.

After tonnes of testings it seems like you CAN'T edit the config file through notepad++, try windows notepad or some other text editor as this works on my side. Hopefully this works for people who has the same problem!
