Renders every COAL-using mod's settings screen in YetAnotherConfigLib (YACL), plus JSON persistence, load-time validation, and versioned migrations.
For players
Install all three side-by-side in your mods/ folder:
- COAL — the abstraction layer that COAL-consuming mods depend on.
- coal-yacl-adapter — this mod.
- YACL — the GUI library that actually renders the screens.
Any mod that consumes COAL will use YACL for its settings screen once these
three are installed together. Your config files land in config/<mod>.json
and every mod's screen looks and feels the same.
Don't install alongside coal-cloth-adapter
Only one COAL adapter should be installed at a time. If you'd rather use
Cloth Config, install coal-cloth-adapter
instead of this one.
For mod authors
You don't compile against this mod. Depend on coal-api +
coal-api-gui-<loader> at compile time; your users install whichever adapter
they prefer at runtime. See the docs for
the walkthrough.
Feature coverage

SYNC, FILE_WATCH, JSON5, or CUSTOM_FORMATS — see the module README on
GitHub for the full annotation-to-widget mapping and known limitations.
