Configuration
Basic Configuration
```yaml
VersionTinmoli Configuration File
Customize the version name displayed in the server list
Language setting (en_US or zh_CN)
language: "en_US"
Version name configuration
version_name: "Velocity 1.8.x-1.21.11" ```
Language Settings
The plugin supports multiple languages. You can set the language in the configuration file:
- `en_US` - English - `zh_CN` - Simplified Chinese
After modifying the `language` field, use `/vt reload` to reload the configuration and switch languages. All command messages and prompts will be displayed in the corresponding language.
Language File Customization
Language files are automatically copied to the external directory on first run: - Bukkit: `plugins/versiontinmoli/lang/` - Bukkit: `plugins/VersionTinmoli/lang/` - Bukkit: `plugins/VersionTinmoli/lang/`
You can edit these files to customize messages. The plugin will load from the external directory first, then fall back to the built-in files.
Configuration Examples
Regular Server ```yaml
Velocity
version_name: "<gold>Minecraft</gold> <gray>1.8-1.21</gray>"

FAQ
Migrating from TOML to YAML
If you're upgrading from an older version (before v1.0.2), you need to migrate your configuration from TOML format to YAML format.
Automatic Migration (Recommended): 1. Backup your `config.toml` file 2. Delete the `config.toml` file 3. Restart the server or run `/vt reload` 4. The plugin will automatically create a new `config.yml` file 5. Edit `config.yml` and set your custom version name
Manual Migration:
TOML format (old): ```toml version_name = "My Server 1.20" ```
YAML format (new): ```yaml version_name: "My Server 1.20" ```
Main difference: Use colon `:` instead of equals sign `=`
Configuration Not Working
1. Ensure the configuration file is in the correct location 2. Check YAML syntax is correct 3. Use `/vt reload` to reload configuration 4. If still not working, restart the server
Colors Not Displaying or Showing as Text
Problem: RGB color codes display as text like `Red</> Green</>`
Cause: Using incorrect closing tags `</>`
Solution: ```yaml
Wrong
version_name: "<#FF5555>Red</> <#55FF55>Green</>"
Correct
version_name: "<#FF5555>Red <#55FF55>Green" version_name: "<color:#FF5555>Red</color> <color:#55FF55>Green</color>" ```
BungeeCord/Bukkit: 1. BungeeCord/Bukkit: Use MiniMessage format `<gold>text</gold>` 2. BungeeCord/Bukkit: Use `&` or `§` color codes 3. RGB colors require Minecraft 1.16+ client 4. Check server logs for errors
Platform-Specific Requirements
1. Bukkit: Requires Velocity 3.0+ and Java 21+ 2. Bukkit: Requires BungeeCord 1.16+ and Java 17+ 3. Bukkit: Requires Minecraft 1.20.1+ and Java 17+
