Config Files

Basic per-mod config files live in core because they are not Minecraft-version-specific:

Properties config = context.configs().loadProperties("my_mod", "client");
context.configs().saveProperties("my_mod", "client", config, "My Mod client config");

Runtime installs these APIs through NowsServices when a matching nows-mc-<version> adapter is present. core stays free of net.minecraft.* types.

Paths And Names

NowsConfigFiles is backed by a directory under the active game directory. Use context.configs().directory() to inspect that root and context.configs().modDirectory("my_mod") for the per-mod folder.

file(modId, name) appends .properties when the name does not already include it:

Path clientFile = context.configs().file("my_mod", "client");
Path explicitFile = context.configs().file("my_mod", "server.properties");

Both paths resolve to files inside the mod’s config directory. loadProperties returns an empty Properties object when the file does not exist. saveProperties creates the parent directory before writing.

What This API Is For

Use it for small Java Properties configs: booleans, numbers, text options and simple mod preferences. If your mod needs TOML, JSON, comments with schema, migrations or nested structures, keep that parser in your mod and use directory()/modDirectory() only to decide where the files live.
