ConfigManager

Comprehensive configuration management system for the McMMO Core plugin.

This class serves as the central hub for all configuration operations within the McMMO plugin ecosystem. It provides a type-safe, organized approach to managing plugin settings, database configuration, debugging options, and gameplay features.

Key Responsibilities:

• Loading and parsing configuration from YAML files

• Providing type-safe access to configuration values

• Maintaining default values for all configuration options

• Supporting configuration validation and error handling

• Enabling runtime configuration updates and persistence

• Organizing configuration into logical categories (database, debug, settings)

Configuration Categories:

1. Database Configuration:

• MySQL connection parameters (host, port, database name)

• Authentication credentials (username, password)

• Connection security options (SSL enablement)

• Performance tuning (connection pool sizing)

2. Debug Configuration:

• Debug mode enablement for development and troubleshooting

• Configurable logging levels for different environments

• Development-specific features and verbose output

3. Gameplay Settings:

• Welcome message system configuration

• Automated save intervals for data persistence

• Player experience and interaction customization

Design Patterns:

• Singleton-like access through the plugin instance

• Immutable public access with private setters for data integrity

• Lazy loading with explicit configuration loading calls

• Default value fallbacks for missing or invalid configuration entries

Thread Safety: This class is designed to be thread-safe for reading configuration values after initialization. Configuration loading and saving operations should be performed from the main server thread to avoid concurrency issues with Bukkit's configuration system.

Error Handling: The ConfigManager provides robust error handling for common configuration issues:

• Missing configuration files (creates defaults)

• Invalid or corrupted YAML syntax (falls back to defaults)

• Missing configuration keys (uses predefined defaults)

• Type mismatches in configuration values (safe casting with defaults)

Performance Considerations:

• Configuration values are cached in memory after loading

• No file I/O occurs during normal configuration value access

• Bulk configuration operations are optimized for minimal overhead

• Configuration reloading is supported without plugin restart
