Configured Defaults
Allows for providing defaults for files absent in .minecraft like configs. A quintessential modpack utility.
Source-provided project description. FreeMinecraftMods keeps creator credit and adds separate compatibility and decision guidance below.
Project overview
          Configured Defaults is a utility mod for modpacks that automatically copies missing files and folders into the game or server directory from a default location provided through the configureddefaults folder. 📦 Its primary purpose is helping modpack creators distribute default configuration files. This is especially useful when adding new mods in an update, ensuring players receive the intended configuration instead of having the mod generate its own defaults on first launch. ⚙️ The mod supports any file or folder within the game directory, making it useful for far more than just configuration files. 📁 Additionally, options.txt receives special handling. Rather than replacing an existing file, missing entries can be merged from the provided default version, allowing new settings to be added while preserving a player's existing preferences. ✨ ⏩ INSTALLATION OPTIONAL ON CLIENT & OPTIONAL ON SERVER Further instructions on how to use this mod are found in configureddefaults/README.md which generates after the game has run for the first time with the mod installed. 🌟 Thanks to shedaniel and their YOSBR mod for serving as a foundation.               
FreeMinecraftMods decision guide
This mod is most relevant to players looking for Miscellaneous, API and Library on NeoForge, Fabric, Forge. 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 Jun 19, 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.
