Writing a config.yml file

Now it is time to start writing your config.yml file. Create a new YAML file in the default package of MobEnhancer. The name of this file must be config.yml in order to be properly loaded by Bukkit. The following is an example of how your config file for MobEnhancer may look. Notice the comments in the example indicated by the # character. Remember to always include comments so that the users know exactly what each setting is for.

#MobEnhancer Config
#Set the health of each Mob below 
#1 is equal to half a heart so a Player has 20 health
#A value of -1 will disable modifing the mob's health
#Hostile
ZOMBIE: 20
SKELETON: 20

#Passive
COW: 10
PIG: 10

Tip

Only a few mobs are included in this config file, but the names of all the mob types can be found in the API docs for the EntityType class at http://jd.bukkit.org/beta/doxygen/d7/dbf/enumorg_1_1bukkit_1_1entity_1_1EntityType.html.

This is a simple YAML file because it does not contain any nested keys. Most of your configurations...
