Using true and false in config?

Hey, I was wondering how I could use true and false in my config-file to enable messages for example.
I tried this:

Code:java

getConfig().addDefault("join-message", true);

".addDefault" is being underlined. Does anybody have a solution?

You are on the right track
This is what I usually do for my configs:

Code:java

public void onEnable() {
setup();
}
 
private void setup() {
if(yourFile.exists)return;
yourFile.set("enabled", true);
}

This is just an example...

 

PingschelleMC

Code:java

getConfig().set("path", boolean);

if you want to save more data later, you could create a method for that.

Code:java

public void saveData(String path, Object value){
  getConfig().set(path, value);
  saveConfig();
}

Then u can just

Code:java

saveData("your path", true);

 

PingschelleMC what does it say when you hover over it? That line itself is completely fine.

 

Thanks dude. Working well!

Using other method now.

Using other method now, anyway, thanks.

 

PingschelleMC you do know that the method you are currently using does not add a default, but rather overrides the config, right? (Not saying that the method is incorrect, but this would not allow anyone to turn it off since each reload/restart would enable it again)
