I'm afraid the 1.16 version, maidensmaterials-1.0.2.jar, is not generating a config file. Using Forge 1.16.5-36.2.0. Other mods are generating config files correctly, such as JEI and JourneyMap so I do not believe it is an environment issue. Have been able to reproduce on two windows computers in multiple game instances.

Hi, thanks for the bug report. Are you able to provide a copy of the game log?

Sure, I suspect what you want is this line: "[17:05:14] [main/WARN]: Reference map 'maideniles.refmap.json' for maidensmaterials.mixins.json could not be read. If this is a development environment you can ignore this message
latest.log
"

That seems like an issue with mixins, but afaik this version of the mod doesn't use any.

It looks like a couple of the print statements aren't being hit. I think the issue is that the mod is trying to make the files before forge has even figured out where the config folder should be. We're working on a fix.

I noticed also in the log some json errors, and assumed they were a result of whatever is causing this. There are some items that are not craftable (palm planks, for instance). Will test once you have a fix to be sure that it is the same error and not something else, but thought I should let you know as well. Ran across it last night when I was in an oasis with no other tree type in sight.

Thanks for pointing out the JSON issues. The ones I saw in the log are fine and it looks like you just don't have an optional dependency installed, but the planks is a problem. They shouldn't be related to the config though.

As far as this issue goes, I was apparently debugging the wrong version. In 1.16 everything looks right. I built this system from scratch and everything seems in place. Are you able to send a screenshot of the .minecraft/config folder?

Sure; I didn't see any dependencies listed on the dependencies tab; I assume you mean Patchouli? I didn't bother with it since it affects only the book and shouldn't be affecting the config generation. The pack I was building when I discovered the issue does have Patchouli. Even adding Patchouli into this tester I'm still not getting a config to generate. Which forge version are you testing on? I can try that too.

Here's the screenshot of the config, and the latest log with Patchouli. Didn't see any JSON errors at a glance, at least.

latest.log

Could you run a search on the mc folder for maidensmaterials.kvp? It might just be generating in the wrong spot.

It is in the defaultconfig folder... am I an idiot?

That's the config file. We've had a couple people miss it before since it isn't something standard like json/toml/cfg. No worries.
