# Configuration

Every file of the plugin, explained, and where to change each thing.

Everything in rnChatGames can be changed: how often games start, what they ask, every text players see, the rewards and the menus. Most options can be changed in game with `/rncg editor`; the rest are in the files of `plugins/rnChatGames/`.

## Where do I change...?

| I want to...                                    | Go to                                                                              |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Make games start more or less often             | `config.yml` → `automatic-games` or `/rncg editor` → General                       |
| Turn a game off, or change its time and winners | `config.yml` → `games.<game>` or `/rncg editor` → Games                            |
| Allow games only in some worlds                 | `config.yml` → `worlds` or `/rncg editor` → Worlds                                 |
| Change the prefix or the colors of a message    | `languages/<language>.yml`                                                         |
| Add my own words or questions                   | `content/<language>.yml`                                                           |
| Give money, items or ranks to winners           | `rewards.yml`                                                                      |
| Turn off titles, the boss bar or the toast      | `config.yml` → `display`                                                           |
| Change menu items and slots                     | `menus.yml`                                                                        |
| Use MySQL to share stats between servers        | `config.yml` → `storage` ([Database](/rnsetups/rnchatgames/reference/database.md)) |

## Tips

* **Start with the editor.** `/rncg editor` covers almost every option of `config.yml` and saves it for you, keeping your comments.
* **No reload needed.** With `auto-reload: true` (default), saved files are applied a few seconds later and the running game keeps going.
* **A mistake never breaks the plugin.** If a file has an error, it is not applied and the console shows the exact line to fix.
* **Backups are automatic.** Before the plugin changes one of your files, a copy is saved in `backups/`.
* **YAML basics:** use spaces, never tabs, and write `''` for a `'` inside a text (`'Time''s up!'`).

{% hint style="info" %}
Colors work everywhere: MiniMessage (`<gold>`, `<gradient:#ff5f6d:#ffc371>`) and legacy codes (`&6`, `&#ff8800`) can be mixed. Start a line with `<center>` to center it in the chat.
