[1.12.2] Forge Config system and setConfigEntryClass()


OreCruncher

Recommended Posts

When manipulating the Configuration data structure I can set a property on an entry to tell the Gui system what IConfigElement class to use when manipulating that property.  I don't see anything like that available for the Config annotation system that Forge provides.  I was wondering is if I am overlooking something, or if indeed the annotation system cannot do this if it could be added.  My thought would be a new annotation on a Config property where I could specify the class name, and the annotation process would do the magic to set property on the config element.

 

If that is not possible adding a pre/post event for config processing could be useful.  In the pre I could set the the IConfigElement property appropriately and perhaps modify the structure somewhat  better fit presentation, and on the post it has the potential of doing post processing before being persisted.

You can get a Configuration for your mod by using ConfigManager.getConfiguration. If you haven't specified the name in your @Config annotation then it will be equal to your modid. That configuration will contain all categories/properties you've specified in your annotation-based config and you can do whatever you want with it just as you would with a normal Configuration.
