# Configuration files

ManticRods configuration file guide

ManticRods creates these files under `plugins/ManticRods/` on startup. Generated YAML files include comments for their settings. The files available depend on your ManticRods version; use your server's generated files as the current reference.

## Main files

## Menu files

See [Menus](/manticrods/configuration-files/menus.md) for the menu files: `main.yml`, `settings.yml`, `upgrades.yml`, `prestige.yml`, `shard-shop.yml`, `fish-prices.yml`, and `leaderboard.yml`.

## Edit and reload

Use `/manticrod editor` to edit the settings supported by the in-game editor. It requires `manticrods.editor`, operator-only by default. Changes made in the editor are saved and reload plugin settings. Other menu files can be edited directly; run `/manticrod reload` after manual edits if you have `manticrods.reload`. Restart the server after changing command names or aliases.
