Description
It would be extremely convenient to be able to define some default Minecraft settings in launcher to apply them (by creating an options.txt file) to new instances before the first launch. For example: default Minecraft language, default keybinds, default view distance etc.
Solution
I see two possible implementation ways:
- make a folder with default
options.txt file and automatically copy this file to the new user-made instances and modpacks without their own options.txt. Not so good, as different Minecraft versions have different options, and some older versions may break due to this.
- implement an options override system, which will create a default
options.txt file and patch it to override some values according to the user overrides. This will keep modpack compatibility as this will only affect certain values instead of overriding the entire file.
Alternatives
There're no althernatives in other launchers, this would be a unique feature. Yeah, there is a fabric mod (YOSBR) for that, but you can't install mods on unsupported versions or use them in vanilla instances. Also you have to perform additional actions every time.
Additional
This also can potentially fix Minecraft bug with missing "vanilla" pack in its default options.txt, which causes resource reloading every time you open and close the resource packs screen (even without changes) in new instances. Just an annoying bug.
