Some mods have a <code>config.json</code> file in their mod folder. It might be created the first time you launch the game with that mod. This file lets you customise the mod settings.

To edit the <tt>config.json</tt> file, just open it in a text editor. Make sure the game isn't running when you edit it, or your changes might not take effect. See a [http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_json_syntax.asp basic guide to JSON]; basically make sure your values are surrounded by quotes (like <tt>"value"</tt>).
