Hocon format -

HOCON stands for Human-Optimized Config Object Notation. As the name indicates it is way easier to read than YAML-configurations. It is also way less likely that you will break a HOCON configuration file by accident compared to a YAML-configuration

Reloading

/punishcontrol reload will reload the configuration of PunishControl. Due to security concerns, some values are not reloadable. Doing a clean restart is always better than just reloading.
