fakeneko_config

A lightweight, MaLiLib-like Minecraft configuration library for Fabric and NeoForge. It provides a pure Java API, Gson JSON serialization, automatic configuration GUI, and combo-key hotkey support.

Features

Pure Java, only depends on Minecraft and Gson
Supports Boolean / Integer / Double / String / StringList / Hotkey config types
Automatic JSON serialization and deserialization
Automatic configuration GUI generation
Supports categories, default values, reset, and change callbacks
Supports combo-key hotkey binding

Why fakeneko_config

From a developer-friendliness perspective, fakeneko_config is much cleaner than traditional Cloth Config / YACL solutions.

Comparison

Aspect	Old ScreenBuilder / ScreenBuilderYacl	fakeneko_config
Code size	Need to write two GUI implementations (Cloth + YACL) and detect which library is loaded	Register config entries and they render automatically
Dependency management	Depends on Cloth Config and YACL, must handle version compatibility and optional/suggests	Unified `fakeneko_config` GUI with fewer external dependencies
Config type extension	Need to write GUI bindings for each new type	Library already supports Boolean, Hotkey, etc.; just `new` them
Serialization	Write your own Gson save/load	Library saves/loads automatically
Hotkeys	Register and listen with `KeyMapping` yourself	Library listens to keyboard/mouse events automatically; `BooleanConfig.withHotkey` binds in one line
Config screen entry	Write your own Fabric ModMenu / NeoForge ModList adapter	Use `ConfigScreen` directly
