Yet Another Config Lib, like, what were you expecting?

</div></center>

## 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.
- **[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's mostly bloat and doesn't have a focus on config.** This library includes other unwanted features such as cosmetics.
- **[OwoLib](https://modrinth.com/mod/owo-lib)**:<br/>**It's content focused.** Like MidnightLib, it does a lot of other things as well, 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?

YACL has the favour of hindsight. Whilst developing this fresh library, I can make sure that it does everything right:

- **It's just a config library.** YACL contains no other features, just config screen generation.
- **It's lightweight.** YACL leaves managing your config up to you, it doesn't contain an alternative to [AutoConfig](https://shedaniel.gitbook.io/cloth-config/auto-config/introduction-to-auto-config-1u) or similar. (Can be paired with my other library, [Settxi](https://github.com/isXander/Settxi), for this feature)
- **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.

## Usage

[The wiki](https://github.com/isXander/YetAnotherConfigLib/wiki/Usage) contains a full documentation on how to use YACL.
