Mod Loader
NeoForge
Describe the Issue
Upon updated my mods, the game crashes with the error java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot get config value before config is loaded.. I've tried to replicate this error with a limited number of mods. Though because of the unclear error message i didn't succeed.
Logs
Removing that mod does fix the issue. Thanks for the help and sorry for reporting. Though I'm still wondering why it only happens on balm versions above 21.0.46 and also occurs without Better Mods Button
This has nothing to do with Balm, it's caused by mechanicals failing to load some Create-related classes, which leads to a followup crash in "Better Mods Button" that obscured the original mechanicals cause.

Impossible to say without logs for that case, but probably for a similar reason it happened to Better Mods Button. Mods crashing during initialization can sometimes cause followup crashes in other mods that weren't prepared for the corrupted state the game is left in, since NeoForge doesn't shutdown the game instantly on these types of crashes.
