    I'm working on a plugin that depends on Factions, for which I need to store data from players in a YamlConfiguration outpostsConfig. Every time I start the server, I get an error that I don't know how to fix.

    Here is the code in my main class, which initializes the YamlConfiguration:
    Code:
    package org.zgnetwork.factionsoutpost;
    
    import java.io.File;
    import java.io.IOException;
    
    import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
    import org.bukkit.configuration.file.FileConfiguration;
    import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
    import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
    import org.zgnetwork.factionsoutpost.commands.CmdFactionsCustom;
    import org.zgnetwork.factionsoutpost.commands.CommandListener;
    
    public class FactionsOutpost extends JavaPlugin {
        private File outpostFile;
        private YamlConfiguration outpostConfig;
        @Override
        public void onEnable() {
            Bukkit.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new CommandListener(this), this);
            outpostFile = new File("outposts.yml");
            outpostConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(outpostFile);
        }
       
        public FileConfiguration getOutpostConfig() {
            return outpostConfig;
        }
        public void saveOutpostConfig() {
            try {
                outpostConfig.save(outpostFile);
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }
        }
    }
    
    And here is the error I'm getting when I start the server:

    Code:

    @JellyRekt Save the name of the world not the world itself.

    @JellyRekt Something saved a world in that config, change that to only save the name.

    @JellyRekt What @timtower is trying to say is that you somehow tried to save the World object, which of course has a lot of data in it. Instead of doing that, you should instead save the UUID or name of the world.

    I see what you mean. I changed that function to save the name of the world instead of the world itself and reinstalled the plugin, but I'm still getting the same exact error.
    EDIT:
    This function exists in an object called Outpost, and is where I was accidentally trying to store the world:
    Code:
        public void setLocation(Location location) {
            String path = "" + faction.getId() + "." + name + ".location.";
            plugin.getOutpostConfig().set(path + "world", location.getWorld().getName());
            plugin.getOutpostConfig().set(path + "x", location.getX());
            plugin.getOutpostConfig().set(path + "y", location.getY());
            plugin.getOutpostConfig().set(path + "z", location.getZ());
            plugin.saveOutpostConfig();
        }

    @JellyRekt Did you update the jar on the server? Is this the only place that saves stuff? Could you post the generated config?

    JellyRekt

    1- Yes
    2- This is the only place that saves a location, and this class is the only one that interacts directly with the config. Here is that full class.
    3- The config is currently empty and will be until a player successfully adds information to it.

    Why doesn't anyone just save the Location object...

    JellyRekt

    I'm storing it to a YamlConfiguration. Hence the need to save the Location's properties.

    You can just use Config#set(Location,"path") and (Location) Config#get("path");

    @Horsey
    He's using a completely different setup for the config. As you can see later on he will be adding more configs.

    @JellyRekt
    For further reference on more configs use this thread (not posted long ago):
    https://www.spigotmc.org/threads/multiple-config-files.263774/

    Other than that in your first post, you have a import that is not by bukkit:
    Your importing a different import of world.
    Where ever your saving the config you have to change that world import to a bukkit world. That import is getting it from the server files of the code.

    Hope this helps!

    @AdamDev I don't see why that would be a problem if he's just saving the location object?

    @Horsey
    Again, even though that he is asking to save the location object the config he's using doesn't always work, but the reason why he was getting a world error was because of the import was incorrect.
