Repair ServerListPlus YAML without removing its typed sections

Applies to: ServerListPlus; match the linked maintainer documentation to your installed platform and release.
Documentation checked .

ServerListPlus uses multiple typed YAML sections rather than a single plain mapping. A generic editor can produce syntactically valid YAML while removing information the plugin expects, so preserve the complete file structure.

Prepare the test

Treat ServerListPlus as an existing integration to maintain, with release-specific compatibility. Preserve its complete configuration before an edit and check which instance answers the public server-list request.

Make the change

  1. Download the existing ServerListPlus.yml and record the installed version and startup error. Compare the file with the version-appropriate official structure rather than starting from an unrelated plugin’s generic YAML template.
  2. Locate the document headers --- !Status, --- !Plugin and --- !Core. Keep those tags and their section boundaries intact; status text belongs in the status section, while the Core section is not a routine presentation-tuning area.
  3. Repair only the indentation, quoting or list entry identified by the error. Check the lines immediately before the reported location, since an unclosed value can make the parser complain later than the actual mistake.
  4. Apply the repaired file through the installed supported route and inspect startup or reload output. Refresh the public listing to confirm the intended message, then compare the saved file with your original for unrelated changes.

Check the result

ServerListPlus should accept the complete typed configuration and render the intended status response. Retain the original alongside the repaired copy until a later normal restart also proves that the file loads consistently.

If the test fails

Restore the complete original if the plugin rejects the repair or rewrites unexpected sections. Do not remove all type tags to satisfy a generic YAML checker, and do not change Core performance settings to solve a description typo.

This is maintenance for an existing compatible deployment. Check the project’s current releases before assuming an old configuration or plugin build supports a new Minecraft or proxy version.
