Split Config Files

EssentialsY splits the original 1300-line config.yml into focused files. Each file covers one area of functionality.

File Reference

Global plugin settings including:

• Nickname and display name options

Auto-Migration

When EssentialsY detects a legacy config.yml without a config/ directory:

1. Creates config/ with split files
2. Moves settings to the appropriate files
3. Renames original to config.yml.migrated

Editing

Open only the file you need. For example, to change chat format, edit only config/chat.yml — no need to scroll through 1300 lines.
