Where is the config file?

I made my first trophy using the magic creative mode method . . . and it's great for what I want to use it for. I'm going to make it a quest turn in key and give a copy of my current inventory to players complete with the date I earned the thing. Players will 100% not be able to duplicate the key.

But I was looking for the configuration code where I'd place my info from the clipboard if I wanted to hand out trophies normally, or where I would go to input my NBT hacker data. Do I have to put this in the scripts folder like my zenscript stuff or something?

I'd like to know in case I use the trophies later for other things . . . say rewards for completing quests where I really do want it to display the right date/time/etc . . . lol

There's no config file - any way of giving players items with NBT data will do. Quest rewards, advancements (probably), Triumph, just plain ol recipes, commands, what-have-you.

You could look at the modpack FTB Interactions for an example of handing out trophies as quest rewards - I don't know how to do it myself, I don't have any experience using questing mods myself lol.

Well, that's different. I know how to do this I just have to edit the better questing file to remove the date NBT tag, I won't even need to have anything in the clipboard . . . but if I'd had to resort to this without talking to you I would think I'd missed something and was hacking a workaround for my own ignorance. You might want to make this clear in the description since the presence of the "magic" creative mode method makes a user think that anybody should be able to use this without actually knowing NBT or Zenscript, or what a JSON file is. I was actually expecting some sort of command in-game or at the very least a config file where a complete computer illiterate could paste his newly created trophy. It's easy for me . . . but I'm used to using Biometweaker, Gamestages, Crafttweaker, and JustEnoughDimensions in my packs. That isn't likely to be true for someone who needs the magic creative method. I only used it because I'm doing enough coding already and wanted to do things the easy way for once. lol

The point of using creative mode is so when you right-click in the air with the trophy it copies the nbt tag to your clipboard for you to do whatever you want with. You can also use /mt hand I suppose. I just added it because i got sick of using /blockdata to edit a trophy

I can't add a config file anyways. I don't know what methods you want players to earn the trophies with. Like what would I even put in the config file

What I would do in your place is to somehow have the mod add trophies with meta-data to the list of objects in Minecraft so it shows up in the JEI/creative menu as an item with no recipe. You right click your trophy in the air and it sends the data into a config file rather than onto the clipboard with a little message to reload the game to access your trophy. I'm using Enchiridion to write books now and it does things that way. You have a starter book object that you click on to activate book creation and when you reload your game suddenly your book pops up as one of the assets loaded by the mod. Initially, I thought that having to reload the game was a bit unintuitive but it's the best book-making mod I've found. The in-game editor is so easy to use. Sure we could just use MT hand with Crafttweaker but that requires players to download a separate mod. Plus a lot of times translating the tags from Zenscript format takes a bit of effort. CraftTweaker, Better Quests, and custom starter gear all store the data differently. I actually had to add custom starter gear instead of just using void island control because that program's automatic config set up couldn't figure out how to translate an item's tags into its format and neither could I. It kept giving me the basic Enchiridion starter book no matter what guide I wanted players to have at start. The program always wanted to cut off all the tags. Which isn't a problem with the mod Bartz is amazing and Void Island Control is the best sky world generator I've found; it's just not a dedicated starting inventory mod and had trouble with more advanced tags. I hope the feedback helps. :)

I just looked at the update data and even though I haven't checked out the config file yet I wanted to come back to this topic and say thank you. Its always nice to see an update that takes my concerns into account, and I know that hard working mod makers don't often hear positive reactions as often as they should.

👍
