Key	Type	Default	Description
prefix	string	'&7[&6RareSpawns&7] '	Global chat prefix prepended to plugin messages. Includes color codes and trailing space if desired.
poweritem-no-exist	string	'&cSorry, this item no longer exists.'	Message shown when a player attempts to use a power-item that no longer exists.
poweritem-no-permission	string	'&cYou do not have permission to use this item.'	Message shown when a player lacks permission to use a power-item.

Color codes and placeholders

• Color codes: Use & followed by the color/format code (e.g., &a, &b, &l). The plugin will typically translate & to the section sign (§) at runtime.
• Placeholders: The provided file doesn't include placeholders, but you can add them if the plugin supports resolving placeholders (check plugin docs). Example: '&cYou do not have permission to use %item%.' — only effective if the plugin replaces %item%.

Editing tips

• Keep messages concise and test colors on a local server before deploying to production.
• If adding new message keys, ensure the plugin reads them (some keys may be hard-coded).
• Always back up lang.yml before making large edits.
• After editing, reload or restart the server (or use the plugin's reload command) so changes take effect.

Examples

• Change the prefix to a minimal style:
  • prefix: '&8[&6RS&8] '
• Make the no-permission message more informative:
  • poweritem-no-permission: '&cYou need &6rareuses.use &cto use this item.'

Troubleshooting

• Messages not updating after edit:
  • Ensure you saved lang.yml correctly (YAML indentation matters).
  • Reload the plugin or restart the server.
  • Confirm there aren't multiple lang.yml files (e.g., in a resource pack or config backup).
• Color codes showing as literal "&a":
  • This means that this message isn't being parsed correctly, and should be mentioned in or on Discord: .
• Custom key ignored:
  • The plugin may expect specific keys; check source or docs to confirm supported keys.
