Merging options.txt #53
Description
GIVEN Alex uses Minecraft across multiple machines (and multiple Minecraft versions on the same machine)
WHEN she changes a setting in-game that's reflected in options.txt (or possibly even iris.properties)
THEN, depending on the option changed (see notes), that change is propagated across a related set of instances without completely overwriting every instance's options.txt
SO that she can manage common settings globally without giving up the ability to manage settings on a per-instance or per-computer basis
Notes
Examples would be:
- setting keybinds globally
- resourcepacks on a per-instance basis
- graphics settings (including / especially render distance) on a per-machine basis
As of now, I'm really not sure how this would happen without some daemon watching over the files and looking for changes.
