The config and global file

The global and config file

Introduction

All the global settings for the world, (for example if creeper's will explode) are inside the global.yml. The config.yml file isn't currently used but will be used later to put settings in if you want to enable multiworld support and if you want to enable permissions.

Settings separated into groups

Here you'll find out how the global.yml file works. All the changable settings are placed in little groups, for example some settings for Creepers like, if they could damage the world or if they could damage players are all placed in the group 'CreeperControl', there are a lot of groups like 'CreeperControl', 'FireballControl', 'TNTControl', 'EndermanControl' and a LOT more.

Enable and disable groups

Inside every group of settings you'll find an option called 'Enabled' which could be set to 'true' and 'false', if this is set to 'true' all the changes which are made inside this group are applied, if this option is set to 'false' nothing which is changed inside this group is applied, and then it works just as normal. So if you want to set that creepers doesn't damages the world make sure that you set 'Enabled' to 'true' inside the 'CreeperControl' group or else it doesn't work.

Enable groups between 2 levels

Inside almost every group you'll probably find on the bottom another little group of settings called 'EnableBetweenLevels', inside that group you'll also find 3 other things you could set called 'Enabled', 'MinLevel' and 'MaxLevel'. With this you could set that all the settings you set inside (for example) the 'CreeperControl' group are only applied when the creeper was between 2 layers for example 64 and 127 (from y=64 to y=127) so that the creeper settings are only applied when the creeper was on the surface or above, this is really useful if you want that creepers still explode inside caves and underneath the surface. When you want to enable this feature you need to set the 'Enabled' option to true inside the 'EnableBetweenLevels' group which is inside another group (for example the 'CreeperControl' group). Then you have 2 other things you could set called 'MinLevel' and 'MaxLevel', here you need to put a number from 0 to 127 which are the layers, if you want that the settings for creepers aren't applied when the creeper is on the surface or above you need to set the 'MinLevel' to '64' (y=64, surface layer) and 'MaxLevel' to '127' (y=127, top of the world). Make sure the 'Enabled' option is enabled inside the 'CreeperControl' group and ALSO inside the 'EnableBetweenLevels' group, otherwise it wouldn't work. So if you doesn't want to enable the settings between layers set the 'EnabledBetweenLevels' group to false.

Multi-world config

Its really easy to make different settings for any other world with Safe Creeper. in the folder 'Safe Creeper' you'll find 2 files called 'global.yml' and 'config.yml' there's also a folder called 'worlds' inside this folder you see 2 files which are example files, just rename one of those example files to the name of a world and make changes inside that file. Another way (which is better) is to copy the global.yml file into the 'worlds' folder and rename the file to the name of a world. Now you could change things for that specific world inside that file, just do it as normal. If you only want to change if creepers could explode you only need to add the things you'll see underneath, because all the settings which aren't set in a file for a world are the same as the global.yml file, so only the things you'll set and change inside the world file are different with the global.yml file.

# Creepers Control
CreeperControl:
    DestroyWorld: false  # Creepers could damage players now inside this world

So with this creepers will only damage the world in the world of this world-config file, you must make sure that (inside the global.yml file) you set 'Enabled' to 'true' to enable the creeper control and set 'DamageWorld' to 'false' otherwhise creepers will damage every world and then this world-config file isn't needed anymore.

This is is just how the whole global and world-configuration works, and its really easy to understand. :)
