I was going through a chain that mentioned a link to customize the recipe of hearts. This is the link, plugins/LifeSteal-Smp-Plugin/recipes/. It says that if I try and go there I can't reach the site. This is what it says, plugins’s DNS address could not be found. Diagnosing the problem. What can I do to fix this or is there another way to change the recipe.

It's not a link, inside your server folder there is a folder named plugins, inside that folder there is a folder named LifeSteal-Smp-Plugin, inside that folder there is a folder named recipes, inside that folder there is a file, that is the recipe.

I have done what you asked @benstr101 but I don't have it saved like that. I just downloaded the file and use it as a plugin on aternos.

Yeah, I'm having the same issue. When I extract w/ WinRar there is no folder called plugins but there is a yml file. When I open the yml file called plugins w/ visual studio, there are no true and false statements. There is also no config file, but there is a configuration one but when I open that w/ visual studio its just characters. This is my first time editing java so sorry if its something thats plain obvious.

EDIT: I am using version 1.6.4.0

LATER EDIT: I have realised what my issue is and I believe it has something to do with the way I open up the .java files. Does anyone know the software that @IkeVoodoo uses?

EVEN LATER EDIT: I've been digging around in the server folders and figured out that the config and recipe are located in a folder that was created in the same folder as where the plugin was added (in plugins folder).

Yes, indeed, you've got it, also I am using IntelliJ as my IDE

Also for the future: Any configuration files or any other files that a plugin uses are most of the time inside the folder "plugins" (where you put your plugins) then under a folder named like the plugin itself (you get the name of the plugin by doing /pl or /plugins in game or alternatively the plugin's file name is similar to the actual name), example:

My plugin's name is LifeSteal-Smp-Plugin

So the config would be at

plugins/LifeSteal-Smp-Plugin/config.yml (where plugins is the same folder the plugin is in)
