You have single quotes all over that file. If you want to use them, the whole String must be wrapped in double quotes, or use double single quotes at every spot you want. Code (Text): key1: "This ' example" key2: This '' example The section symbol is fine. I wish more people would use them in this file to pretty up the /help menu
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately, that did not do the trick. Know of any other things that might be wrong?
Ensure that you are not using tabs for indentation, use spaces instead. Additionally, you could use a online YAML lint to parse your plugin.yml to find syntax errors.
Only other thing I can think of is you possibly have zero width characters in there throwing a fit. What happens when you pass this through an online yaml parser?
They're spaces, and I tried parsing it online. All good. Would you need to see my command classes? Passed it through a parser, says it's valid YAML. Weird.
Hmm. Delete the file and retype it again (do not copy paste, in case there's some invalid zero width characters in there)
Are you using IntelliJ or Eclipse? If you are using IntelliJ, click File, then Project Structure, then Artifacts. That should bring up the following screen: Click the green plus icon, then click File, then locate your plugin's plugin.yml file.
MalformedInputException usually happens when the InputStreamReader reads a line with a character outside of the encoding used. In short, it found a weird character. The only out of the normal character in your plugin.yml would be the section symbols (§)
You guys were right after all. Does anyone know how I can use color in the plugin.yml permission messages then (without doing permissions in the code)? Edit: Looks like the coding was set to something other than UTF-8. Changed it for the workspace. Thanks @Fizmo !
