## Why does this mod even exist?
This mod was made to fill a hole in this area of Fabric modding. The existing main config libraries don't achieve what I want from them:
-- **[Cloth Config API](https://modrinth.com/mod/cloth-config)**:<br/>**It's stale.** The developer of cloth has clarified that they are likely not going to add any more features. They don't want to touch it. ([citation](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/43245524/206530322-3ae46008-5356-468e-9a73-63b859364d4e.png))
-- **[SpruceUI](https://github.com/LambdAurora/SpruceUI)**:<br/>**It isn't designed for configuration.** In this essence the design feels cluttered. Further details available in [this issue](https://github.com/isXander/Zoomify/issues/85).
-- **[MidnightLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/midnightlib)**:<br/>**It has cosmetics among other utilities.** It may not be large but some players (including me) wouldn't want cosmetics out of nowhere.
-- **[OwoLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/owo-lib)**:<br/>**It's content focused.** It does a lot of other things as well as config, adding to the size.

As you can see, there's sadly a drawback with all of them and this is where YetAnotherConfigLib comes in.
-## How is YACL better?
+## Why use YACL?
-YACL has the favour of hindsight. Whilst developing this fresh library, I can make sure that it does everything right:
+### Features
-- **Client sided library.** YACL is built for client mods only, making it a smaller size.
-- **Easy API.** YACL takes inspiration from [Sodium's](https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium) internal configuration library.
-- **It's styled to fit in Minecraft.** YACL's GUI is designed to fit right in.
+YACL has a ton of configuration features:
-## Usage
+- Custom control widgets
+ - Create your own unique "controller" if the default set does not suit your needs
+- Rich descriptions
+ - Clickable & hoverable text, powered by vanilla's Text component system
+ - WebP (including animated) image previews
+ - Custom rich-renderable section to replace image
+- Multiple controllers for the same type:
+ - Sliders or fields for numbers
+ - Dropdowns, cyclers, or raw text fields for strings
+ - Tickboxes or ON/OFF text display for booleans
+ - ...and more!
+- Fully-featured color picker
+- Accessible with full compatibility for keyboard control (optimised for Controlify usage)
+- High organisation with tabs (categories) and collapsable groups
+- Built-in serialization/deserialization techniques so you can skip the error-prone config code
+- Full alternative Kotlin DSL
-[The wiki](https://github.com/isXander/YetAnotherConfigLib/wiki/Usage) contains a full documentation on how to use YACL.
+### Version support
+
+YACL supports a huge amount of versions, all kept up to date and released simultaneously, thanks to the amazing
+[Stonecutter](https://stonecutter.kikugie.dev/) build tool.

+_**Note**: Forge (LexForge) is not and will not be supported past 1.20.1.
+If you're a developer, please port to NeoForge.
+If you're a user, you may find that all your favourite mods have already done so._

+Each is a separate build, so make sure your users get the correct YACL version for their target of choice.
+
+### Design
+
+YACL is designed to fit right in with the vanilla GUI aesthetic, and will evolve with Minecraft itself. Take a look at
+the gallery to see how even in all the currently supported versions, YACL's design looks different to fit in with
+vanilla GUI updates.
