Solved Multi YAML Files

Hello, I am having an issue with my plugin, I am wanting to have multiple .yml files so that i can store player data separate to my plugin config.yml

I have looked at many posts on doing this and i am not 100% on it.
I must say I am not the best at Java and i am just beginning to learn.

Code:

package com.domain.plugin;
 
import java.util.logging.Logger;
 
import org.bukkit.plugin.PluginDescriptionFile;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class currency extends JavaPlugin {
    public final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger("Minecraft");
    public static currency plugin;
 
    @Override
    public void onEnable(){
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        getLogger().info(pdfFile.getName() + " " + pdfFile.getVersion() + " Has Been Enabled!");
        myNewClass.customConfig.set("one.two.three", "HELLO");
    }
    @Override
    public void onDisable(){
        PluginDescriptionFile pdfFile = this.getDescription();
        getLogger().info(pdfFile.getName() + " " + pdfFile.getVersion() + " Has Been Disabled!");
        myNewClass.saveCustomConfig();
    }
}

public class myNewClass {
    public static currency plugin;
 
    public static FileConfiguration customConfig = null;
    public static File customConfigFile = null;
 
    public static void reloadCustomConfig() {
        if (customConfigFile == null) {
        customConfigFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "customConfig.yml");
        }
        customConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(customConfigFile);
 
        // Look for defaults in the jar
        InputStream defConfigStream = plugin.getResource("customConfig.yml");
        if (defConfigStream != null) {
            YamlConfiguration defConfig = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(defConfigStream);
            customConfig.setDefaults(defConfig);
        }
    }
    public static FileConfiguration getCustomConfig() {
        if (customConfig == null) {
            reloadCustomConfig();
        }
        return customConfig;
    }
    public static void saveCustomConfig() {
        if (customConfigFile == null) {
            customConfigFile = new File(plugin.getDataFolder(), "customConfig.yml");
        }
    }
}

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.

search this forum, you are reinventing the wheel. there are excellent tutorials on here and most of them contain a class file which has this code already done for you.

This would be the best place to go as this bukkit tutorial shows how to set up to make a custom yml file which can be used like a normal config file: link

If you want to do more yml files then 1 all you need to do is set the variable customconfigFile to a new file.yml then you can make as many as you want. when you want to read them back then you just set the variable to the file you want, load it then you can read and write to it as if it was a standard config file. Life made easy as you are using bukkits own code (makes your plugins lighter)

 

You've just violated two of the unwritten rules of this subforum...
