Settings

Settings live in config.toml. Change them with modsmith config:

$ modsmith config
$ modsmith config set default_platform curseforge
$ modsmith config unset default_platform
$ modsmith config path

Setting	What it does	Variable
instances_dir	Where new instances are created	MODSMITH_INSTANCES_DIR
game_dir	The official launcher’s game directory	MODSMITH_GAME_DIR
curseforge_api_key	Your CurseForge API key	CURSEFORGE_API_KEY
default_platform	Where to look when a project names no platform
allow_prereleases	Whether alpha and beta releases may be chosen

An environment variable overrides the file, and a command line option such as --instances-dir overrides both, for that run only.

Other variables

MODSMITH_HOME

Keeps settings, instances and downloads together in this folder, instead of your system’s usual folders.

NO_COLOR

Turns colour off, like --color never.
