Noob question regarding custom configs.

Hey, I have a plugin (BedHome), and I'm currently making an update for it. I want to be able to save bed spawn locations to a seperate file named beds.yml rather than the config, but I have no idea how. Help would be appreciated, thanks.

 

I will be assuming you are working with the file in your main class so just do the following:

Code:java

File file = new File(this.getDataFolder(), "beds.yml");
 
if(!file.exists()) {
    file.createNewFile();
}
 
YamlConfiguration yml = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);

 

Thanks. Then to actually save to the file, what would I do? I'm sorry, I'm still working through the tutorials. I'm an idiot. yes I have googled it

 

Code:java

try {
    yml.save(file);
} catch (IOException ex) {
    ex.printStackTrace();
}

Thanks, but I mean as in writing data to it, i.e. when someone right clicks a bed, it adds/changes the value of (their username) and inside that has their x, y and z

 

yml.set("EnderTroll68.x", 0);
yml.set("EnderTroll68.y", 75);
yml.set("EnderTroll68.z", 0);

 

Or to get the player same as EnderTroll do

Code:java

final Player p = org.bukkit.entity.Player;

Then after that do:

Code:

yml.set("p.x", 0);
yml.set("p.y", 75);
yml.set("p.z", 0);
