No config button for my mod?

[drok0920]

Hello,

I have recently made a Config class using 

@Config

It generates and uses the config file just fine but i cant use the gui to edit it as there is no config button for my mod.  It's not just grayed out it isn't there at all.  Why is this happening and how can i fix it.

 

EDIT:

I have corrected the modid in the mcmod.info file and now the config mod exists but is grayed out.

I have heard mixed answers on whether or not the gui is auto generated for the config.  Does it generate it or do i have to use gui factory.

Automatic config GUIs for the annotation-based config system were added in Forge 1.11.2-13.20.0.2262 (commit 25497d3). If you're using an older version, update to get the automatic config GUI.

I am using forge for 1.12 so it should auto generate the gui but it isnt, why?

I'm not sure why it's not working for you. Please create a Git repository of your mod, push it to a site like GitHub (if you haven't already) and link it here.

 

See my mod and its .gitingore file for an example of the structure to use and which files to include.

You specify a GUI factory in your @Mod annotation, so Forge doesn't use the default GUI factory for your mod. The GUI factory that you specify doesn't exist, so a ClassNotFoundException is logged and no GUI factory is registered for your mod.

 

Simply remove the GUI factory from your @Mod annotation and Forge will use the default GUI factory.

 

The ModConfig.Overrides class is never used for the config file/GUI because there's no field of that type in the top-level @Config class (ModConfig). Even if there was, the ModConfig.Overrides.fixedHarvest field wouldn't be used because only the top-level @Config class can have static fields, other classes need to have non-static fields.

 

I highly recommend learning how to use a local Git client rather than using GitHub's web interface. This will let you have finer control over what's in each commit so you can make sure each commit only consists of related changes and has a descriptive message.

 

I personally use GitKraken, but you can also use your IDE's integrated Git client or the git command-line.
