there's a config file in the config folder and another one gets generated in the serverconfig folder of a save, but it has only default values

I thought maybe the values from the global config file are supposed to be in the serverconfig too, because the game is using values from the serverconfig, and why even have the global config if that wasn't the case?

 

Main:

Config.loadConfig(FMLPaths.CONFIGDIR.get().resolve("qrystal.toml").toString()); 

ModLoadingContext.get().registerConfig(ModConfig.Type.SERVER, Config.config1, "qrystal.toml");

Config.loadConfig:

public static void loadConfig(String path) { 
final CommentedFileConfig file = CommentedFileConfig.builder(new File(path)).sync().autosave().writingMode(WritingMode.REPLACE).build();
file.load(); 
config1.setConfig(file); 
}

 

how do I make the game use the values from the global config?

Am I misunderstanding how this works?

Great tutorial, however, I have a couple of questions:
What is the specPair thing about?
Is there any difference between CLIENT and SERVER configs in terms of setup?
Thanks for the reply

It just lets the method return both the spec and your configured instance. You need the spec for registration & baking checks later and you need the instance for getting/setting values.

If by “setup” you mean “registration”, no. Server config is synced to the client so it needs to be registered on both sides. It is good practice to only register your client config on the client distribution but unless you interact with client-only code in your config (which is unlikely) it’s not necessary.

Is there a way to store a string array or multiline string?

Use ForgeConfigSpec#defineList. It returns a List<String>.
