In preInit event has a Configuration object for your mod that is what you will use to create a config.

do you mean FMLPreInitializationEvent#getSuggestedConfigurationFile()?

Yes

and then i can use normal JavaIO? and configuration file syntax is created by me? or is there a recommended way of doing this?

Look into the Configuration methods all syntax/format is defined by it. You have almost no say.

[Draco18s]

new Configuration(event.getSuggestedConfigFile())

[lukas2005]

ok now how do i use this Configuration object??? theres only get methods

[Draco18s]

And your goal is...?

 

(Also, you're not entirely correct)

[lukas2005]

(Also, you're not entirely correct)

i want to load a hash map from a config but also if a value for something is not set then add it

[Draco18s]

Again, you can totally do that, and the code I linked does something similar.

[lukas2005]

i am confused right now is thre a tutorial about this or maybe docs?

[Draco18s]

It works like this:

Rather than getting a value from the config file, get a Property.

The property then contains both get and set methods.

ok but what if config file doesnt exist? do i need to make it by myself?

[Draco18s]

The config class does it for you.

Same thing with all the config options. If they aren't there, you provide a default value.

[lukas2005]

ok i created the code and runned minecraft config genrated but its empty

[Draco18s]

Show your code.

[lukas2005]

Show your code.

 

in pre init of main

	@EventHandler
public static void preInit(FMLPreInitializationEvent e) {
	Logger.setLogger(LogManager.getLogger(Reference.MODID.toUpperCase()));
	Logger.info("Pre Init!");

	Reference.CONFIG = new Configuration(e.getSuggestedConfigurationFile());

	ModItems.main();
	//Logger.info("Loaded and registered succesfully: " + ModItems.ITEMS.size() + " Items");

	CustomValues.initValues(Reference.CONFIG);


	proxy.preInit(e);
}

in CustomValues class

package lukas2005.idea;

import java.util.HashMap;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.item.Item;
import net.minecraftforge.common.config.Configuration;
import net.minecraftforge.common.config.Property;

public class CustomValues {

public static HashMap<Item,Integer> ITEMWEIGHT = new HashMap<Item,Integer>();
public static HashMap<Block,Integer> BLOCKWEIGHT = new HashMap<Block,Integer>();

public static void initValues(Configuration cONFIG) {

	Reference.CONFIG.addCustomCategoryComment("BLOCKS WEIGHT", "Here you can change how much ceratin blocks weight");

	for (Block block : Block.REGISTRY) {

		Property pr = Reference.CONFIG.get("BLOCKS WEIGHT", block.getRegistryName().toString(), "1");

		BLOCKWEIGHT.put(block, pr.getInt());

		pr.setComment("Weight of a " + block.getRegistryName().toString());

	}

	Reference.CONFIG.addCustomCategoryComment("ITEMS WEIGHT", "Here you can change how much ceratin items weight");

	for (Item item : Item.REGISTRY) {

		Property pr = Reference.CONFIG.get("ITEMS WEIGHT", item.getRegistryName().toString(), "1");

		ITEMWEIGHT.put(item, pr.getInt());

		pr.setComment("Weight of a " + item.getRegistryName().toString());

	}

}

}

You never save the config file, ever.

[lukas2005]

ok now it works

[lukas2005]

ok i have one more question. How do i read a float from a Propery object bcause theres a getInt() method but not getFloat()?

[Draco18s]

Let's look at what Config.getFloat does

 

Float.parseFloat(prop.getString()) < minValue ? minValue : (Float.parseFloat(prop.getString()) > maxValue ? maxValue : Float.parseFloat(prop.getString()));

 

Oh, hey, its just parsing a string.

[lukas2005]

ok solved

Hi

 

This tutorial project has an example of Configuration (not just how to use the class, but also how to integrate it into the Forge mod "options" screen that users can change options with).
