Staff can create an kingdom with /kingdom create <naam> <prefix>
But how can I save all this information in an kingdom.yml file?

Someone that have an toturial on this?

Do you want a tutorial on how to create a custom YAML file? Or just on how to store stuff in one?

If it's creating custom confine, there is plenty of tutorials out there.

For saving stuff, I would create a kingdom class that has a constructor that takes all the things you want stored in the file. Then, on enabling the server, read the config, and add each new Kingdom instance to a List of Kingdom objects.

 

To create a file

Code:java

public void createFile(Plugin plugin) {
File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "yourfile.yml");
if(!file.exists()) {
   try {
      file.createNewFile();
   }catch(IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
   }
  }

getting config

Code:java

public FileConfiguration getConfigByFile(String fileName) {
 File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), fileName);
 return YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(file);
}

saving

Code:java

public void save() {
 File file = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "yourfile.yml");
 try {
  getConfigByFile("yourfile.yml").save(file);
 }catch(IOException e) {
   e.printStackTrace();
 }
}
