YetAnotherConfigLib v3
3.0 of YACL introduces a new UI layout, taking advantage of 1.19.4's new tab system!
Description Panel
The description panel takes the place of the old category buttons, you can now interact with the text by clicking or hovering and the description can contain an animated WebP file or a static image. This can help you as a developer to portray what your option does with an actual example. Like the old tooltip system, these descriptions can dynamically change based on the value of the option, including the image. After a few seconds of hovering, the description will start to auto-scroll if necessary so inputs such as controller can still use the UI.
.description(OptionDescription.createBuilder()
.text(Text.literal("Line 1"))
.text(Text.literal("Line 2"))
.webpImage(new Identifier("mymod", "config/screenshots/config_example.webp"))
.build())
the above is applicable to both groups and options
Tab System
YACL now uses a slightly modified version of 1.19.4's new create world screen, this adds tab overflow, so you can scroll through the tabs in case there are too many to fit on the screen.
Controller Builders
Controllers now use a builder system, rather than using constructors. This allows for more flexibility in the future.
You can still use your own controller implementations without creating a builder, using .customController()
.
For mod developers...
This update is for both 1.19.4 and 1.20, there is complete API parity. 1.20 is now the active branch, and 1.19.4 is now considered LTS and may receive features from 1.20 at a later date.
For users/modpack developers...
YACL 3.0 includes the old 2.x inside the new JAR. So you can safely upgrade to 3.0 without breaking mods that have not yet updated. However, the old UI will still be present for this outdated mods.
YetAnotherConfigLib 3.0.0-beta.2+1.19.4
This version adds no features, nor bug fixes, instead it implements a breaking change:
The YACL package has changed to dev.isxander.yacl3
and the YACL mod-id has changed to yet_another_config_lib_v3
.
This is to prevent conflicts with 2.0, so you can load both versions at the same time so older mods don't break.
YetAnotherConfigLib 3.0.0-beta.7+1.20
This version adds no features, nor bug fixes, instead it implements a breaking change:
The YACL package has changed to dev.isxander.yacl3
and the YACL mod-id has changed to yet_another_config_lib_v3
.
This is to prevent conflicts with 2.0, so you can load both versions at the same time so older mods don't break.
YetAnotherConfigLib 3.0 Beta 1 (for 1.19.4)
This release is parity with 3.0.0-beta.6 for 1.20.
Unfortunately, 3.0 will only be available for 1.19.4 and up, not 1.19.2. This is because YACL now highly depends on .4's new tab system (found in the create new world screen).
If there is a high enough demand for a backport to 1.19.2, I will consider it, but no promises!
YetAnotherConfigLib 3.0 Beta 5
API Changes
OptionDescription.Builder#description
has been renamed totext
, to make it more clear as it used to look like:.description(OptionDescription.createBuilder() .description(Component.literal("This is some text")) .build())
ListOption.createBuilder
now no longer takes a class parameter, to match withOption
. This means you can no longer doListOption.createBuilder(String.class)
, instead you should doListOption.<String>createBuilder()
.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed option list entries sometimes appearing on top of the navbar.
YetAnotherConfigLib 3.0 Beta 4
Additions
- Added
OptionDescription.Builder.customImage()
to add your own renderer for the option description.
API Changes
This release brings a few API breakages, getting them out the way, as it is a major update.
- All controllers now have an API builder for creating them. This is to make it easier to add
more options to them in the future. This also creates a new API layer to remove simple implementations of YACL
from using the GUI package. The old constructors are still available and you can pass your own controller
with
.customController()
. An example would be.controller(TickBoxControllerBuilder::create)
or:.controller(opt -> IntegerSliderControllerBuilder.create(opt) .range(0, 10) .step(1))
- Completely removed
.tooltip()
from groups and options. You should use.description()
instead. To make this a little easier,OptionDescription.of(Component...)
has been added so you don't need to create a builder. - Removed
OptionDescription.Builder.name(Component)
as it now just uses the option name.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed option descriptions being stuck on the last clicked option when not hovering.
- Fixed category tooltips not being displayed with the new tabs.
