Set GameOption

[Grayseon]

Hi. I want to set the sneak toggled option to true. This gives an incorrect answer:
new GameOptions(MinecraftClient.getInstance(), new File(String.valueOf(FabricLoader.getInstance().getGameDir().resolve("options.txt")))).sneakToggled
and I can't set the value using that. Can I have some help, please?

Thank you!

You shouldn't instantiate the option yourself, that wouldn't affect the game directly.

Something like Option.SNEAK_TOGGLED.set(MinecraftClient.getInstance().options, true) may work.

Right it is a cycling option, the non-access-widener/mixin/reflection option is then unfortunately some form of

if (!MinecraftClient.getInstance().options.sneakToggled) {
  Option.SNEAK_TOGGLED.createButton(MinecraftClient.getInstance().options, 0, 0, 0).onClick(0, 0);
}

Or just MinecraftClient.getInstance().options.sneakToggled = true, i think it has no side effects unlike another options where i had to go through the button

Is it bad to be doing this on startup? I have this code in the startup file, but when I do that it gives an error.
Cannot assign field "sneakToggled" because "net.minecraft.client.MinecraftClient.getInstance().options" is null

Yes our hook for the mod entry points is obviously a little before mc initializes the options field in its constructor. Something like ClientLifecycleEvents.CLIENT_STARTED should be fine.

Thank you so much!
