This is what you're looking for http://wiki.bukkit.org/Configuration_API_Reference

 

Basic things you might need for config:

getConfig().options.copyDefaults(true);
saveConfig();

You should call that in your onEnable somewhere.

getConfig().set(String path, Object value) - sets a path to be a certain object.

getConfig().createSection(path) - creates a configuration section at that specific path

getConfig().getConfigurationSection(path) - gets a configuration section create

getConfig().get String/Integer/Double/StringList/etc (path) - gets the object at a specific path

getConfig().contains(path) - Returns true if the path exists in the config

That should be a good introduction to configs, I hope :/

 

the options. is undefined...

 

@Divinity Realms The line getConfig().options.copyDefaults(boolean) should be in the class that extends JavaPlugin. AKA, your main class.
