Manage your server

Start with the behavior you want to change. The guides use configuration excerpts, not full replacement files.

Common tasks

• Grant player access.
• Set default skins.
• Create named custom skins.
• Restrict skins and URLs.
• Configure the skin menu.
• Change messages and translations.
• Configure shared SQL storage.
• Update SkinsRestorer.
• Back up skin data.

Change configuration safely

1. Back up the active configuration file.
2. Edit the existing section in config.yml.
3. Keep YAML indentation consistent.
4. Apply the change with /sr reload or a restart, as the guide specifies.
5. Repeat the task that the configuration controls.

Do not paste a second copy of the same top-level section. A YAML parser can replace one copy silently.

On Bukkit servers, the file is plugins/SkinsRestorer/config.yml. On other platforms, use the data directory reported at startup.

The configuration reference lists exact keys and defaults. Command registration, storage changes, and platform forwarding need a restart.
