-# notify-on-start
-*(maki, 4/20/25)*
-this is a personal project, there are DEFINITELY better alternatives; this plugin is mostly server-exclusive.
-it was made to notify a discord server whenever a event occurred in a minecraft server. 
-
-# Prerequisites
-Before using this plugin, you must:
-* Get Spigot
-* Get a JAR file from [the releases](https://git.sob.moe/sobrooms/notify-on-start/-/releases) or [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11wMPjOh2b8oRzpeJOrOI4ZAkImOlr93u?usp=sharing) (the drive folder is frequently updated)
-
-# Webhook creation
-If you already know how to make a webhook, disregard this section of the readme.
-
-To make a webhook:
-1. Go to your Discord server.
-2. Edit a channel.
-3. Go to "Integrations" and then "Webhooks"
-4. Click "New Webhook"
-5. Give the webhook a name. As an example, we will use `notify` as the webhook name.
-6. You may change the channel where it is associated/linked to, change the webhook name, and set a picture for the webhook.
-7. Copy the webhook link.
-
-# Usage
-To use this plugin, simply obtain a release and place the binary on the `plugins` folder of your Spigot/Paper/Bukkit server.
-
-On the first run, it will make a folder in the server's directory, containing the plugin's configuration file named `config_webhook.json`
-
-The configuration file should have two fields with the value `default-ns`. Paste the webhook links in the space following the key name (such as `url_notify`),
-or over the `default-ns` text. The configuration should look like this afterward:
-
-
-```json
-{
-    "url_notify": "https://discord.com/webhooks/webhook_for_notifications",
-    "url_publicmsg": "https://discord.com/webhooks/webhook_for_player_broadcasts"
-}

+# notify-on-start
+*(maki, 4/20/25)*
+this is a personal project, there are DEFINITELY better alternatives; this plugin is mostly server-exclusive.
+it was made to notify a discord server whenever a event occurred in a minecraft server. 
+
+# Prerequisites
+Before using this plugin, you must:
+* Get Spigot
+* Get a JAR file from [the releases](https://rrryfoo.sob.moe/rrryfoo/notify-on-start/-/releases) or [Google Drive](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11wMPjOh2b8oRzpeJOrOI4ZAkImOlr93u?usp=sharing) (the drive folder is frequently updated)
+
+# Webhook creation
+If you already know how to make a webhook, disregard this section of the readme.
+
+To make a webhook:
+1. Go to your Discord server.
+2. Edit a channel.
+3. Go to "Integrations" and then "Webhooks"
+4. Click "New Webhook"
+5. Give the webhook a name. As an example, we will use `notify` as the webhook name.
+6. You may change the channel where it is associated/linked to, change the webhook name, and set a picture for the webhook.
+7. Copy the webhook link.
+
+# Usage
+To use this plugin, obtain a release and place the binary on the `plugins` folder of your Spigot/Paper/Bukkit server.
+
+Once the plugin is used for the first time, it will make a YAML configuration file in the plugin's directory named `notifyOnStart.`\
+It should look like this:
+
+```yml
+server:
+    name: Minecraft Server
+    entry_message: Welcome to @servername, @playername!
+    webhooks:
+        notify: default-ns
+        broadcast: defeault-ns
+log: true
+firstrun: 0
+```
+
+You can also make a configuration file without starting the server up; copy the config above, make the plugin directory yourself, make a file named `config.yml`, and paste the text into it. You can then change the settings, as long as the `firstrun` field exists.
+
+The configuration file should have two fields with the value `default-ns`. Paste the webhook links in the space following the key name (such as `notify`),
+or over the `default-ns` text. The configuration should look like this afterward:
+
+
+```yml
+server:
+    name: Minecraft Server
+    entry_message: Welcome to @servername, @playername!
+    webhooks:
+        notify: https://discord.com/webhooks/webhook_for_notifications
+        broadcast: ttps://discord.com/webhooks/webhook_for_player_broadcasts
+log: true
+firstrun: 0
+```
+
+You may use two variables in the entry message field, namely `@servername` and `@playername`. If you do not want an entry message to be sent, leave the field blank.
