Pick the right Settings Saver jar for your loader and Minecraft version, install it, and check that the mod is running.

By the end of this guide Settings Saver is installed in an instance and its button shows up in the Options screen.

Before you start#

You need a client instance with one of these loaders. Settings Saver is client-only: on a dedicated server it loads, logs Dedicated server detected; nothing to do. and does nothing else, so there is no reason to install it there. It has no dependencies: one jar is all you need.

Pick the jar#

One jar covers a whole loader family, so you never need a different jar per Minecraft version.

Jar Loader Minecraft
settingssaver-<version>-fabric.jar Fabric, Quilt 1.14 to 26.3
settingssaver-<version>-legacyfabric.jar Legacy Fabric 1.7.10 to 1.13.2
settingssaver-<version>-forge-1.7.10.jar Forge 1.7.10
settingssaver-<version>-forge-1.8-1.12.2.jar Forge 1.8 to 1.12.2
settingssaver-<version>-modlauncher.jar Forge 1.13.2 to 26.3
settingssaver-<version>-modlauncher.jar NeoForge 1.20.1 to 26.3

Fabric, Quilt

Use the fabric jar on Minecraft 1.14 and newer, Fabric snapshots included. Quilt loads it as is. Fabric Loader 0.12 or newer is required.

Legacy Fabric

Use the legacyfabric jar on Minecraft 1.7.10 to 1.13.2.

Forge

Forge has three jars, one per era:

  • 1.7.10: the forge-1.7.10 jar.
  • 1.8 to 1.12.2: the forge-1.8-1.12.2 jar.
  • 1.13.2 to 26.3: the modlauncher jar.

NeoForge

Use the modlauncher jar on every NeoForge version, 1.20.1 to 26.3. It is the same jar as Forge 1.13.2+ uses.

Steps#

  1. Put the Settings Saver jar in the instance's mods folder.
  2. Start the game.
  3. Open Options. A Settings Saver... button is at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Click it. The Settings Saver menu opens, showing Profile: default and Sync: Off.

You can also open the menu from the mod list: the Config button of Settings Saver in Mod Menu (Fabric and Quilt) or in Forge's and NeoForge's own mod list. Forge 1.13.2's mod list never enables that button, so use the Options screen there.

On its first launch Settings Saver creates its store and the instance's config file. Nothing in the instance is changed yet: the default profile stays empty until you save to it. Continue with Saving and loading.
