Universal Tweaks requires ConfigAnytime, which is not available on Aternos

Universal Tweaks: 1.7.1 (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/universal-tweaks)
ConfigAnytime: 1.0 (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/configanytime)
MixinBooter: 8.3 (https://www.curseforge.com/minecraft/mc-mods/mixin-booter)
When trying to install Universal Tweaks on a Aternos Server, the required dependency mod ConfigAnytime is not available to install.
Aternos download options for Universal Tweaks
- ConfigAnytime is not shown as a required Dependency: https://aternos.org/addons/a/curseforge/universal-tweaks
- Without ConfigAnytime, the server will not start with Universal Tweaks installed.
Attempted fix through Aternos
- I attempted to suggest the ConfigAnytime mod to Aternos (https://aternos.org/suggest) and got the message "This is not popular enough".
- I followed this by sending a email to Aternos support, noting that the ConfigAnytime (almost 10k downloads) is a required dependency for Universal Tweaks (which has over 252k downloads).
- Followed up with a discord post on Aternos channel: https://discord.com/channels/107936397578489856/1064609403178856459/threads/1136788291639857284
Options without Aternos
- Use Universal Tweaks 1.6.0, rather than the latest version.
- You must downgrade MixinBooter to version 7.
- You lose any updated functionality done after Universal Tweaks 1.6.0 and MixinBooter 7.
- Use a different server hosting (such as FalixNodes).
- Aternos is one of the most popular free hosting sites due to its ease of use. Many users may be discouraged by the learning curve to switch hosting sites.
- Change Universal Tweaks dependencies to no longer require ConfigAnytime (making it optional).
- Requires changes to the mod and the work that goes with that. May cause functionality loss in features.
Sorry, but I can‘t take responsibility for the policies of other hosting services. ConfigAnytime is the foundation of almost all configurability and solved the most scuffed technical part of Universal Tweaks and I won‘t go back to previous means, I‘m afraid.
So the only advice I can give you is to keep 1.6.0 for the time being, keep on pestering Aternos people or use alternative hosts.
