📋 About This Mod
Baldur's Gate 3 Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) provides an in-game menu through which mod users can configure mod settings and hotkeys.
It is a central location for mod configuration and can be accessed via the main and ESC menus, or pressing the Insert key (by default).
Are you a mod author? Check the documentation for integrating mods with the MCM; it's a simple process and there are a lot of author-facing features you definitely want to hear about!
Here's MCM 1. 33 in action with several mods, showcasing profiles, keybindings, and mod pages:

Consider politely asking authors of mods that use Script Extender to integrate with MCM!
[]Easily configure mods: MCM provides a simple and intuitive way to change mods' settings. No need to manually edit JSON files - although still allowed, just like in the old days!
[] Instant setting saving and loading: Unlike the traditional way of handling settings, MCM-integrated settings update in real-time as they are changed, without requiring save reloads or SE commands;
[]Load order health checking: MCM also checks your load order for missing/outdated dependencies and mods with invalid UUIDs.
[]Keybinding management: easily assign keyboard bindings directly from the MCM window, with built-in conflict handling.
[]UI agnostic: MCM's core configuration code is designed to work independently of IMGUI. This means that even if IMGUI support were to be completely removed, MCM would still work. Users who can't see the current UI will still be able to use MCM's under-the-hood benefits to manage their settings, and also edit them through JSON files.
[] Save-safe: MCM does not write anything to your save files - all modifications are done in-memory and then saved to JSON files. MCM can also be safely uninstalled without affecting your save files at any time, provided any mods that use it are disabled or uninstalled as well;
[] Multiple profiles: MCM allows you to manage multiple configuration profiles, so you can have different settings for different playthroughs/characters;
[] Reduced user error: MCM performs several settings validations, reducing the risk of user error when configuring mods, even if manually editing JSON files;
[] Export and import settings: Mod settings are stored per-profile and per-mod JSON files under Script Extender\BG3MCM, making it easy to create backups and restore settings.
[] Uncluttered U
Adds an in-game graphical interface for managing mod settings, keybindings, and custom IMGUI widgets, accessible via main and ESC menus. Essential for mod users who want a centralized settings hub.
