Configured Defaults Mod (1.21.11) – Distribute Default Config Files

Managing configuration files across a modpack with dozens of mods is one of those thankless tasks that modpack creators know all too well. Configured Defaults Mod by Fuzs eliminates that headache by automatically copying predefined config files into the game or server directory whenever they're missing — ensuring every player starts with exactly the settings you intended. Downloaded over 3.8 million times and actively maintained since late 2023, this utility has become a staple in the modpack creator's toolkit for good reason.

Key Features

• Automatic config distribution — Copies missing configuration files from the configureddefaults folder to the game or server directory, so mods always launch with your chosen settings instead of generating their own defaults.
• Full file and folder support — Works with any file type, including options.txt, mod configs, and other essential settings files, giving you complete control over the initial game setup.
• Consistent modpack experience — Ensures every user running your modpack gets identical configurations out of the box, reducing support requests and configuration-related issues.
• Built-in documentation — Includes a README file inside the configureddefaults folder with detailed usage instructions to get you started quickly.

FAQ

Does Configured Defaults overwrite existing config files?

No. The mod only copies files that are missing from the game or server directory. If a config file already exists, it will not be replaced, so your customized settings remain untouched.

Can I use Configured Defaults for server-side modpacks?

Yes. The mod works in both client and server environments, copying missing files from the configureddefaults folder into the server directory just as it does for the game client.

What files can I distribute with this mod?

You can distribute any files and folders, including mod configuration files, options.txt, and other essential settings. Simply place them in the configureddefaults folder and the mod handles the rest.
