Mod conflictsCannot Get Config Value Before Config Is Loaded
What the log looks like
java\.lang\.IllegalStateException: Cannot get config value before config is loaded\.
How to fix it
- Open the full `logs/latest.log` or crash report and look at the `at ...` stack trace lines immediately below `Cannot get config value before config is loaded.` to find the exact mod package requesting the setting too early.
- Scroll higher up in `logs/latest.log` to check if another crash occurred first; if you see `emergencySaveAndCrash` or `firePlayerLogout` in the trace, fix the earlier startup exception rather than the config error.
- If you use a base mod with add-ons (such as Create and Create add-ons), verify every add-on matches the exact version of the base mod you have installed and remove or downgrade incompatible add-ons.
- Back up and delete the `.toml` config file belonging to the culprit mod inside your `config/` folder (and inside `saves/<world>/serverconfig/` if crashing when opening a world) so a clean copy regenerates on launch.
