I just downloaded this mod this morning and my config file looks like your mod page, thought it would look something like this

  "Smelting Frequencies (Smelt items every N smelting ticks)": {
    "global": 1.0
  },
  "Debug": false
}​

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Frequencies should be 1 not 1.0

I understand that, i was wondering if my config file should look like the one above?  Instead my config file looks like this..

{
  "Use Permission": true,
  "Speed Multipliers": {
    "global": 1.0,
    "furnace.shortname": 1.0
  },
  "Fuel Usage Speed Multipliers": {
    "global": 1.0,
    "furnace.shortname": 1.0
  },
  "Fuel Usage Multipliers": {
    "global": 1,
    "furnace.shortname": 1
  },
  "Output Multipliers": {
    "global": {
      "global": 1.0
    },
    "furnace.shortname": {
      "item.shortname": 1.0
    }
  },
  "Whitelist": {
    "global": [
      "item.shortname"
    ],
    "furnace.shortname": [
      "item.shortname"
    ]
  },
  "Blacklist": {
    "global": [
      "item.shortname"
    ],
    "furnace.shortname": [
      "item.shortname"
    ]
  },
  "Smelting Frequencies (Smelt items every N smelting ticks)": {
    "global": 1,
    "furnace.shortname": 1
  },
  "Debug": false​

It was much easier to have all the names listed like in my first question. Im not a dev so i dont like going in and trying to re do a config file in fear of messing it up

You do not have to be a developer to mess it up it is really simple https://jsoneditoronline.org I use this website idk its helpful. Just learn lmao you know how to speak right? Seemed to be really hard first few years, didn't it?
