Forge Config API Port

Forge Config API Port is a developer library that brings the Forge and NeoForge configuration systems to other mod loaders. It allows mods to use familiar Forge or NeoForge style configs across Fabric, Forge, and NeoForge without maintaining separate configuration implementations. 📦

This mod is intended for mod developers and as a dependency for supported mods. It does not allow Forge mods to run on Fabric, nor does it provide any form of general mod compatibility between loaders. 🔧

By preserving the original APIs, package names, and behavior as closely as possible, the mod makes it easier to maintain multiloader projects and share configuration code between platforms. This helps reduce platform-specific code and keeps configuration handling consistent across supported mod loaders. 🔄

• 📦 Configuration Library: Brings the Forge and NeoForge configuration systems to additional mod loaders while preserving their familiar APIs.
• 🔄 Cross Loader Config Support: Use Forge configs on Fabric and NeoForge, or NeoForge configs on Fabric and Forge.
• 🧩 No Refactoring Required: Preserves original package names and class names, allowing existing config implementations to be ported with little to no code changes.
• 🏗️ Built for Multiloader Projects: Define and register configs in a shared common module instead of maintaining separate platform specific implementations.
• ♻️ Shared Configuration Code: Keep a single configuration setup across supported loaders, reducing duplication and simplifying maintenance.
• ⚡ Native Where Available: No additional library is required on loaders where the chosen configuration system is already built in, keeping dependencies to a minimum for users.

⏩ INSTALLATION REQUIRED ON CLIENT & REQUIRED ON SERVER

⏩ REQUIRES FABRIC API TO BE INSTALLED (FABRIC)

🌟 Thanks to the Forge & NeoForge teams for creating and maintaining the configuration API this project is based on!
