Mod - CurseForge
Default Options
A way for modpacks to ship a default (key) configuration without having to include an options.txt file.
Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.
Project overview
This mod can be used by Modpack developers to distribute default options and keybindings without overriding user changes on every modpack update. Instead of shipping the options.txt directly, you will ship a "defaultoptions" folder in your modpack which contains the defaults previously saved through the /defaultoptions command. This mod is available for NeoForge, Fabric and Forge. It requires Balm , which must be installed alongside the mod. On the first run, users will start out with the options you configured - and future changes won't be overridden on updated Keybinds configured by the modpack will be set as new defaults, meaning changes made by users will persist even on updates The server list will be pre-populated with the server list provided by the modpack (and user changes will persist on updates, still) 1. Configure the options, keybinds and server list as you would like them to be shipped in the modpack 2. Join any world and run "/defaultoptions saveAll" to save your current options in the defaultoptions folder (located in the config folder where it should remain) 3. Do not include the options.txt and servers.dat from the root directory in your modpack 4. Fresh installations (meaning no existing options.txt) will now start out with your default options If you are using FoamFix Anarchy Version , disable B:initOptions in the FoamFix config or else Default Options will not work. See this GitHub issue for more info.
FreeMinecraftMods decision guide
This mod is most relevant to players looking for Miscellaneous on NeoForge, Forge, Fabric, undefined. Treat those labels as discovery hints, then verify the exact file and dependency list on the official project page.
The source record was updated on Jul 24, 2026, which is a recent freshness signal. A recent date does not guarantee support for every loader or Minecraft version, so still inspect the current file list.
What to verify before choosing a file
- Confirm that the file is published by the credited creator on the linked official source.
- Match the Minecraft version exactly instead of relying only on a broad category label.
- Read dependencies, incompatibilities, and changelog notes before updating an existing instance.
- Match the loader or server platform and its required version. Forge and NeoForge are not interchangeable.
- Back up worlds and configuration files before testing the project in a long-term save or public server.
