Config Tabs

MyoConfigTab is the record used to describe a tab in the Myotus terminal settings UI.

What this line exposes

Section titled “What this line exposes”

In 1.20.1, a config tab definition contains:

  • a title component
  • either a texture blitter or an ItemStack icon
  • a stylePath pointing at the active screen style JSON
  • a MyoConfigTabScreen implementation used to build the tab UI

Example

Section titled “Example”
MyotusAPI.get().configRegistrar().terminalConfigTab(new MyoConfigTab(
        Component.literal("Example"),
        Icon.COG,
        "example_terminal.json",
        new ExampleConfigScreen()));

Icon options

Section titled “Icon options”

MyoConfigTab supports multiple icon shapes:

  • AE2 Icon
  • Myotus MyoIcon
  • plain ItemStack

What this line does not include

Section titled “What this line does not include”

The Forge line does not include:

  • MyoConfigTabVisibility
  • MyoConfigTabContext
  • the visibleWhen() copy helper
  • bulk registration helpers on IConfigRegistrar

If you need conditional visibility on 1.20.1, gate the registration yourself before calling terminalConfigTab(tab).

Style path

Section titled “Style path”

The stylePath should point at the relevant screen style JSON. In the inspected source tree, Myotus itself registers a tab backed by:

assets/ae2/screens/config/myotus.json

What Myotus registers for itself

Section titled “What Myotus registers for itself”

MyotusConfigTab.initialize() runs during common setup and registers the built-in terminal settings tab with:

  • translated title text
  • the Myotus icon set
  • myotus.json as the style path
  • MyotusConfigScreen as the screen implementation

The screen currently exposes the keybinding editor, while the bug-report button lives in the terminal settings toolbar.
