Profile config

The options in a profile's profile.properties: its excluded settings per settings file, its display name and when it was created.

Each profile is a folder in profiles/ inside the store, and its profile.properties holds the profile's own settings. Settings Saver creates it with the profile. The Excluded settings screen edits it for you and rewrites the whole file when you change something, so comments you add by hand are not kept.

Options#

Option Default Meaning
exclude.vanilla the default exclusions Keys of options.txt that are never saved or loaded, separated by commas. A key ending in * matches every key starting with the text before it.
displayName the folder name The profile's name as recorded in the file. The menus show the folder name.
created the creation time When the profile was created, written by Settings Saver.

exclude.vanilla set to an empty value (exclude.vanilla=) means nothing is excluded. Removing the line brings back the default exclusions.

The version line of options.txt is always handled by Settings Saver and can't be included.

Example#

# Settings Saver profile.

displayName=pvp
created=2026-11-05T20:42:33.117Z

# Keys never synced, per settings file. Comma-separated; a trailing * matches a prefix (e.g. key_* for all keybinds)
exclude.vanilla=resourcePacks,incompatibleResourcePacks,lastServer,soundDevice,fullscreenResolution,key_*

The saved settings#

Next to profile.properties, vanilla/options.txt holds the profile's saved settings in the newest format Settings Saver knows (see Converting between versions). It is a normal options.txt with one key:value per line. You can edit it with every game closed, but the menu's Save and Load are the safer way.
