Hidden settings
Create file shudnal. ConfigurationManager.hiddensettings.json and place next to plugin dll or in \BepInEx\config folder.
The file could contain array of strings with special format: "pluginGUID=Section name=Settings name" equal sign separated strings containing mod GUID, section name and config name.
If such settings is found in settings list it will be hidden completely.
File could be placed on server to push that hidden settings to clients. Combined with preconfigured modpack configs you can prevent users from changing values of client-sided mods easily. Yet they can still edit files manually.
In given file entries 1 and 2 are here for format example. 3rd string will hide setting "Pause game" in section "Valheim" of that Configuration manager mod.
"pluginGUID=Section name=Settings name",
"authorname.exampleGUID=Section name=Settings name 2",
"shudnal. ConfigurationManager=Valheim=Pause game"
To get mod GUID ingame you can enable "Debug mode" toggle in mods header. Now mod GUID
