The Mod Configuration Menu (MCM) is a framework for Baldur's Gate 3 that provides an in-game interface for managing mod settings and keybindings. Users can access MCM via the ESC menu or by pressing INSERT (default). This eliminates the need for manual JSON edits, offering a seamless experience for both players and mod authors.
Mod authors can easily integrate their mods with MCM on their own, providing a consistent and user-friendly settings management system. This integration removes the need for users to manually edit JSON files and eliminates JSON management responsibilities that authors would otherwise have to handle.
- Easy configuration: Intuitive settings management without manual JSON edits.
- Keybinding management – Easily create and assign hotkeys with a familiar interface for users and built-in conflict resolution.
- Real-time changes: Settings update instantly without needing to reload saves.
- UI-agnostic: Technically independent of IMGUI, ensuring usability even without UI visibility.
- Error reduction: Validate settings' values to minimize user errors.
- Uncluttered UI: Consolidate mod settings into a single, dynamic and configurable interface, with smart sidebar and detach functionalities.
- Save-safe: Modifications are done in-memory and saved to JSON files, leaving save files untouched.
- Localization support: Display strings in the user's preferred languages if translations are provided.
- Multiple profiles: Able to manage different settings for various playthroughs, and even export/restore them.
