--- title: Configuration redirectFrom: - "/g/conf/index.html" - "/g/conf.html" --- # Configuration **Minecraft Console Client** can be both configured by the [command line parameters](usage.md#command-line-parameters) and the configuration file. By the default all of the configurations are stored in the configuration file named `MinecraftClient.ini` which is created the first time you run the program, but you also can specify your own configuration file by providing a path to it as a first parameter when starting the MCC, check out [Usage](usage.md#quick-usage-of-mcc-with-examples) for examples.

Warning

**Recently we have changed the configuration format from INI to TOML, the documentation had to be updated. If you spot a mistake, please report it on our Discord or in the repository as an issue.**
## Notes - Some settings will be omitted from the documentation due to them being not used often, we do not want documentation to be cluttered, we advise you to manually read through the configuration file, where every setting has a description next to it. - Some plugin/bot related settings will be covered in the plugins section, not here ## Configuration File ### Format The configuration file uses the [TOML format](https://toml.io/en/), all of the options are key-value pairs separated into sections. Sections are defined in-between the square brackets (Example: `[This is a section]`), each occurrence of this marks a beginning of a new section. The settings/options are defined as key-value pairs, where the name of the setting and the value are separated by the equals sign `=` (Example: `some-setting=some value`). Lines starting with `#` are comments, they do not have an effect on the configuration of the program, their purpose is purely a descriptive one. **To get familiar with all the data types and styles of settings please read the [official TOML documenation](https://toml.io/en/v1.0.0).** Full Example: ```toml [SectionNameHere] Setting_Name = "this is some name" Setting_Something = 15 [OtherSection] # This is a comment explaining what this setting/option does Other_Setting = true # This also is a comment [ThirdSection] Section_Enabled = true colors = [ "red", "yellow", "green" ] [ThirdSection.Subsection] Coordinate = { x = 145, y = 64, y = 2045 } ``` ## Main Section ### Main General section - **Section header:** `Main.General` #### `Account` - **Description:** This setting is where you need to provide your in-game name (for offline accounts) or email for Microsoft accounts (Mojang accounts do not work anymore) and your password (if using an offline account, use `-` for the password). - **Format:** `Account = { Login = "", Password = "" }` - **Type:** `inline table` - **Example:** `Account = { Login = "some.random.player@gmail.com", Password = "myEpicPassword123" }` #### `Server` - **Description:** This is the setting where you provide the address of the game server, "Host" can be filled in with domain name or IP address.
