Why isn't my plugin.yml wanting to work?

I'm having trouble getting my plugin.yml to work for my plugin. It keeps spitting out errors, and I know I have my plugin.yml right.

This is the error I get:

PHP:

Here's my plugin.yml:

Code:

name = Toxicity;
        version = 0.1;
        main = com.toxicity;

And here is my main class:

PHP:

package com.toxicity;
import org.bukkit.Material;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.PlayerMoveEvent;
import org.bukkit.inventory.ItemStack;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
 
public class Toxicity extends JavaPlugin implements Listener{
Long tickdelay = (long) 0;
public void onEnable(){
this.saveDefaultConfig();
this.getConfig().set("delay-between-damage-in-seconds", 20);
tickdelay = this.getConfig().getLong("delay-between-damage-in-seconds")*20;
this.getPluginLoader().createRegisteredListeners(this, this);
}
public void onDisable(){
 
}
public boolean isDamageTime(Player player){
Long curTime = player.getWorld().getTime();
if (curTime>=13800&&curTime<=22200){
Long nighTime = 24000-curTime;
if ((nighTime/tickdelay)==Integer.parseInt(Long.toString((nighTime/tickdelay)))){
return true;
}
}else{
return false;}
return false;}
public void onPlayerMove(PlayerMoveEvent evt){
Player player =evt.getPlayer();
ItemStack Hat = player.getInventory().getHelmet();
if (Hat.getType()!=Material.IRON_HELMET){
if (isDamageTime(player)){
player.damage(1);}}}}

I really need to fix this. I'm so close to being finished with my first plugin.

thank you!

Please refer to the bukkit wiki for the proper format of a plugin.yml file

 

There should not be indentation before version nor main.

EDIT: There are other problems too, but that is the one that is giving you the error right now.

I did, I still had the problem, I'm still getting this problem, I will try again, and I will edit it once I have done so.

What are those other problems? How am I able to fix them?

 

Don't put semicolons (';') after the lines.
EDIT: Example: https://raw.github.com/jamietech/IdentityCrisis/master/src/plugin.yml
Also, toxicity.com doesn't appear to be your domain and you should really work on formatting your code.

 

alright, I'd really like some help. If someone could show me an example of how it should look, I'll be able to do this. I'm fairly new to coding. Thanks!

EDIT:

OMG! It works! Thank you jamietech for that link! I tried it, changed it to my settings and took of the permissions part since I don't have those yet, and it went on without that error! thank you so much!

 

There is an example on the wiki http://wiki.bukkit.org/Plugin.yml

 

Thanks Sagacious_Zed, jamietech's link helped also. Thanks though!

EDIT:


Figured it out. Thanks for all the help!

Also for future reference make sure the plugin.yml is inside the package level in the IDE and NOT in the SRC level.

 

That's where I have it. My friend who is fixing it up, said to put it in the SRC not anything else.... I'll need to tell him... Thanks for telling me

 

The location where plugin.yml goes in the project depends on how you have the plugin packaged into a jar. What is important is that plugin.yml ends up in the root of the final exported jar.

That clears things up. Thank you!
