# Configuration

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

Everything in rnKoth can be changed: each KOTH, the general settings, and every text players see. Almost every option can be changed in game with `/koth editor`; the rest are in the files of `plugins/rnKoth/`.

| Change when a KOTH starts                        | `/koth editor <name>` → Schedule, or `schedule` in its file                   |
| Make schedules use my time zone                  | `config.yml` → `timezone`, or editor → Schedule → Time zone                   |

| Use clans or factions                            | `config.yml` → `teams` ([Teams](/rnsetups/rnkoth/guides/teams.md))            |
| Stop players flying or using `/home` inside      | `/koth editor <name>` → Rules                                                 |

| Change the colors or words of a message          | `languages/<language>.yml`                                                    |
| Post starts and winners on Discord               | `config.yml` → `discord`                                                      |
| Use MySQL to share stats between servers         | `config.yml` → `storage` ([Database](/rnsetups/rnkoth/reference/database.md)) |

## Tips

* **Start with the editor.** `/koth editor` covers almost every option 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 running events keep going with the new settings.
* **A mistake never breaks the plugin.** If a file has an error, the console shows the exact line to fix, and your file is not changed.
* **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 (`'You can''t fly here'`).

Colors work everywhere: MiniMessage (`<gold>`, `<gradient:#ffb000:#ffe066>`) and legacy codes (`&6`, `&#ff8800`) can be mixed. Start a chat line with `<center>` to center it.
