Night Auto Config Mod (1.21.1, 1.20.1) – Night Config Integration for Auto Config

Night Auto Config Mod is a Night Config integration for Auto Config, which is now embedded in the Cloth Config API. This config introduces a “NightConfigSerializer” to satisfy Auto Config’s requirement of a serializer’s implementation. You can choose from all the available config formats of Night Config, and use the serializer just as other common serializers, even along with a “PartitioningSerializer”. As a library mod, this mod by itself does not introduce anything into the game. But it is required to be installed as a dependency mod for other mods to function as intended.

Features:

• NightConfigSerializer implementation that fulfills Auto Config’s serializer requirement.
• Supports all configuration formats provided by Night Config (e.g. JSON, TOML, HOCON, etc.).
• Can be used like any other Auto Config serializer, including together with a PartitioningSerializer.
• Provides runtime annotations to define serializer and deserializer providers:
  • @SerializerProvider for registering custom serializer providers.
  • Full support for Night Config’s own annotations such as @SerdeDefault.
• Includes convenience interfaces such as UnifiedSerializerProvider<T, R> that implement both ValueSerializer<T, R> and ValueSerializerProvider<T, R>.
• Supports custom value serializers for your own types (e.g. MyClass), referenced via providers.
• Allows defining default values via provider methods, used together with @SerdeDefault to avoid random serialization exceptions.

Integration Highlights

• Distributed as a mod library; recommended consumption via JitPack in build.gradle or build.gradle.kts.
• Version is controlled via nightautoconfig_version in gradle.properties (replace {latest} with the latest tag).
• Must be referenced as a dependency in fabric.mod.json / quilt.mod.json:
  • "nightautoconfig": "*" under "depends".
• Serializer implementation entry point:
  • band.kessokuteatime.nightautoconfig.config.NightConfigSerializer
• Configuration classes use Auto Config’s @Config and Night Auto Config’s annotations to declare how fields are serialized.
• Registration is done during mod initialization:
  • AutoConfig.register(MyConfig.class, ConfigType.DEFAULT_COMMENTED::fileWatcherSerializer)

Important Notes

• Fields should be annotated with com.electronwill.nightconfig.core.serde.annotations.SerdeDefault where appropriate to ensure stable defaults.
• Omitting @SerdeDefault on fields that rely on provider-based defaults may cause unexpected serialization exceptions.
• Configuration objects can use transient suppliers for default values while exposing the actual stored field separately.
