Config file

MCPets 4.0.0 introduced the in-game editor to simply modify some configuration options in game, so make sure to check it out using /mcpets editor

That will save you some time not diving in configurations anymore!

The global config file is generated by MCPets as "config.yml".

Here is what you can configure into it with explanations for each feature.
