When you start Scribe for the first time, it generates several files inside the plugins/Scribe/ folder. Understanding what each file does is crucial for effectively managing the plugin.

File Structure

plugins/Scribe/

config.yml

This is the brain of the plugin. Here you configure:

• Global settings (language, debug mode, time formats).
• Brand colors (defining standard tokens such as {primary}, {text}, {highlight}, and {error}).
• Chat channels (Local chat radius vs Global chat).
• Moderation (Caps filter, spam cooldowns, word blacklists).
• Mention settings (Sounds, actionbars, titles).

formats.yml

This is the paintbrush of the plugin. Here you configure:

• The exact layout of chat messages (e.g., [Admin] Notch » Hello!).
• Formats for different LuckPerms groups.
• Private message formats (Sent, Received, and Spy).
• Roleplay formats for /me, /try, etc.
• Server broadcasts (Join, Quit, Death).

commands.yml

This file allows you to heavily customize how players interact with Scribe:

• You can disable any command entirely (e.g., if you don’t want roleplay commands, set them to enabled: false).
• You can change aliases (e.g., changing /msg to /whisper).
• You can change the permission node required to execute the command.

messages/*.yml

All plugin feedback messages sent to players (e.g., “You do not have permission”, “Player not found”, “Chat is muted”) are stored here. English is the technical fallback language.
