// There's 2 config file systems in this mod. One is used for server configs, the other for client configs.
// The reason the client configs aren't based on the official ModConfig class is because I haven't found a way
// to write to the config files whenever I want using ModConfig. Goldenapple's method mentioned later however
// allows me to have such functionality, which I need. There's no interference between the two systems as far as I've tested.
