Main Configuration

The config.yml file is located in plugins/SmartSpawner/. It controls language, spawner behavior, visual effects, database storage, and performance.

Two areas have their own files. Selling and item prices are in sell_integration.yml, and action logging is in activity_log.yml.

Most settings apply on /ss reload. The ones marked RESTART are only read when the server starts.

Mob and Item Spawner drop tables can also be managed in game. Use /ss edit smartspawner or /ss edit itemspawner to edit existing entries, and /ss add smartspawner|itemspawner to create one. See Commands for the exact syntax and permissions.
