(Z) A Good Text Editor

GamerPotion edited this page Jan 6, 2023 · 1 revision

You may need to edit config files for certain mods and basic notepad just wont cut it. So you will need a good text editor to help you when changing certain configs.

Inside your config folder and sub-folders you may come across *.json, *.json5, *.toml, *.cfg, *.txt, *.properties, *.conf, *.mcfunction, *.mcmeta files

Below are recommendations of free applications that I would suggest you get when editing the config files.


Notepad++ - https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

(personal setting = Language: Python(for TOML files), Monokai style (style configurator)


Kate - https://kate-editor.org/en-gb/

(personal settings = Windows Color Scheme: Breeze Dark, Editor Color Scheme: Breeze Dark)


Visual Studio Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/

(personal settings = (all plugins installed for file types), Monokai style (Color theme)
