⚙️ Configuring Flag Defaults

You can configure the default state of flags for all new lands using the config.yml file. This allows server administrators to define baseline behavior for newly created lands.

Example section in config.yml:

  defaultFlagValues:
    - flag: "BLOCK_BREAK"
      enabled: false
    - flag: "MOB_SPAWNING"
      enabled: true

This configuration ensures that, for example, block breaking is disabled by default and mobs are allowed to spawn. Server administrators can also customize which flags players can manage using permissions and set costs for changing them.

📝 To change flags for an existing land, use the in-game /land flag command.
