Solved Config isn't read on reload/restart

I'm storing some simple player data in the config like so:

Code:

Players:
  xdeekay:
    Team: blue

However, when I run /reload or stop and start the server again, the server doesn't read xdeekay as being on the blue team. For example I have a chat listener which sets the players chat format based on what team the player is on, and the player has no format on the reload/restart.

Here's my main:

Code:java

package net.dkcraft.mineside;
 
import java.io.File;
 
import net.dkcraft.mineside.commands.Class;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.commands.Loadout;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.commands.Redeploy;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.commands.SetSpawn;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.commands.Team;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.listeners.ChatListener;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.listeners.DamageListener;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.listeners.PlayerListener;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.listeners.WeaponListener;
import net.dkcraft.mineside.util.ListStore;
 
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class Main extends JavaPlugin {
 
    public static ListStore teamBlue;
    public static ListStore teamRed;
    public static ListStore teamPurple;
 
    public void loadConfiguration() {
        this.getConfig().options().copyDefaults(true);
        saveDefaultConfig();
    }
 
    public void onEnable() {
 
        String pluginFolder = this.getDataFolder().getAbsolutePath();
 
        File directory = new File(Bukkit.getPluginManager().getPlugin("MineSide").getDataFolder(), "teams");
        directory.mkdirs();
 
        (new File(pluginFolder)).mkdirs();
 
        Main.teamBlue = new ListStore(new File(pluginFolder + File.separator + "teams" + File.separator + "teamblue.yml"));
        Main.teamRed = new ListStore(new File(pluginFolder + File.separator + "teams" + File.separator + "teamred.yml"));
        Main.teamPurple = new ListStore(new File(pluginFolder + File.separator + "teams" + File.separator + "teampurple.yml"));
 
        Main.teamBlue.load();
        Main.teamRed.load();
        Main.teamPurple.load();
 
        loadConfiguration();
        reloadConfig();
 
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new ChatListener(this), this);
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new DamageListener(this), this);
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new PlayerListener(this), this);
        this.getServer().getPluginManager().registerEvents(new WeaponListener(this), this);
 
        this.getCommand("loadout").setExecutor(new Loadout(this));
        this.getCommand("class").setExecutor(new Class(this));
        this.getCommand("redeploy").setExecutor(new Redeploy(this));
        this.getCommand("setspawn").setExecutor(new SetSpawn(this));
        this.getCommand("team").setExecutor(new Team(this));
 
    }
 
    public void onDisable() {
        Main.teamBlue.save();
        Main.teamRed.save();
        Main.teamPurple.save();
    }
}

A little more information:
The config isn't being wiped or set back to the defaults when I run /reload or restart the server, all the contents of the config are fine on the reload/restart. But for some reason, none of my classes can get the string of any part of my config, for example I can't get what team xdeekay is in. It's almost as if the config was wiped, but isn't. Any help would be appreciated.

For anyone who stumbles across this thread in the future, I have solved this.
It's not an issue with my config at all, but rather my .getConfig() method. I had this:

Code:java

if (plugin.getConfig().getString("Players." + player.getName() + ".Team") == "blue") {
event.setFormat(ChatColor.WHITE + "[" + ChatColor.BLUE + "Blue" + ChatColor.WHITE + "] " + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.WHITE + ": " + ChatColor.WHITE + event.getMessage());
}

Instead of using == "blue", I changed it to .equals("blue"), so it now looks like this:

Code:java

if (plugin.getConfig().getString("Players." + player.getName() + ".Team") .equals("blue")) {
event.setFormat(ChatColor.WHITE + "[" + ChatColor.BLUE + "Blue" + ChatColor.WHITE + "] " + player.getDisplayName() + ChatColor.WHITE + ": " + ChatColor.WHITE + event.getMessage());
}

Hope this helps anyone else having this issue.
