2 ‐ Configuration
When Quests is first run, configuration files will be created in the /plugins/Quests directory. If this is your first time using Quests, just make sure the settings in config.yml are to your liking. Don't worry about any of the other files or folders for the time being.
Pro-tip: Opening a .yml file that contains non-English characters on an English computer may not display those characters correctly. In the case of Windows, this is because Windows in English uses the ANSI character set, while the preferred format is UTF-8. Unfortunately, Windows makes this difficult to change, so we recommend an editing program that supports UTF-8. Notepad++ is a free and popular choice.
This file contains all settings relating to how Quests should perform once loaded. As such, changes made to this file must be configured and saved before the server is started.
