📋 About This Mod
Notice: I'm not going to update this version any more, I've made a version that should work with most Unity games, including Valheim with the latest BepInEx 5:

Please use it instead.
----------------------------------
This mod allows you to edit settings for BepInEx mods that make use of the BepInEx configuration system from within the game itself via an easy-to-use GUI.
The GUI is opened and closed by pressing the hotkey (default F1). There is also a button to open the config manager on the main menu.
This is a modified version of the BepInEx Configuration Manager by MarC0 / ManlyMarco. It will disable the original version (including the one installed by Vortex) if it is found.
Features
This mod brings the BepInEx Configuration Manager code up-to-date with the latest BepInEx version and makes it highly customizable:
-
[]You can change UI colors
[
]You can drag the window around the screen[]You can resize the window
[]You can change font size
[]You can change text used in the UI
It also adds Reload From File and Reset To Default buttons to the bottom of each plugin. Reloading and resetting config will not necessarily mean you see the changes instantly. It depends completely on how and when each mod checks its config file.
Also, you can now edit the manager's settings from within the manager itself. This can lead to problems if you try changing the size or position manually. Just delete the config file and start again if it becomes impossible to use the manager because of a messed up size or position.
Known Issues
- []It sometimes logs error messages about UI Clips to the console - these are harmless, still not sure the cause.
- It will also log errors if you edit certain fields and they no longer fit that setting's type (if this happens as you edit them, you can just ignore the error)
Please let me know of any other bugs you find.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (6,838 endorsements) — this is the go-to config tool for Valheim modding
- Customizable UI means you can tailor it to your workflow, not the other way around
- Actively maintained (last updated April 2021) — still relevant for most mod setups
⚠️ Cons
- Requires BepInEx to function — if you're not already using it, you'll need to install that first
- Last updated in 2021 — newer Valheim patches might cause hiccups, though the core functionality usually holds up
For Valheim modders who want a reliable, in-game config editor without alt-tabbing. If you're running multiple mods and need to tweak settings on the fly, this is essential. Skip if you're playing vanilla or only use a couple of mods that don't need configuration.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure BepInEx is installed first — this mod won't work without it, and the install order matters.
- After installing, launch Valheim once to generate the config files, then you can tweak settings in-game via the F1 key (default).
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the install to avoid file placement errors.
