- Property Detail
  - is
```
boolean isProperty
```
    Gets the value of the property property.
- Method Detail
  - isProperty
```
boolean isProperty()
```
    Gets the value of the property property.
  - getConfigEntryClass
```
java.lang.Class<? extends GuiConfigEntries.IConfigEntry> getConfigEntryClass()
```
    This method returns a class that implements GuiConfigEntries.IConfigEntry or null. This class MUST provide a constructor with the following parameter types: GuiConfig, GuiConfigEntries, IConfigElement
    
    See Also:

  - getArrayEntryClass
```
java.lang.Class<? extends GuiEditArrayEntries.IArrayEntry> getArrayEntryClass()
```
    This method returns a class that implements GuiEditArrayEntries.IArrayEntry. This class MUST provide a constructor with the following parameter types: GuiEditArray, GuiEditArrayEntries, IConfigElement, Object
    
    See Also:

boolean isDefault()
```
    [Property] Is this property value equal to the default value?
  - getDefault
```
java.lang.Object getDefault()

  - requiresWorldRestart
```
boolean requiresWorldRestart()
```
    [Property, Category] Whether or not this element is safe to modify while a world is running. For Categories return false if ANY properties in the category are modifiable while a world is running, true if all are not.
  - showInGui
```
