Solved Getting data from config returns null

Hello! This is my old account, I'm in the process of changing it all.

Anyways, back to the point. I have a small plugin for testing economies. Saving data works just fine! It's when I wish to load data stored inside is when it becomes a problem.

Here is my one-class code. (Remember, just for testing)

Code:

package me.dudemister.crimsongaming;
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import org.bukkit.Bukkit;
import org.bukkit.ChatColor;
import org.bukkit.configuration.file.YamlConfiguration;
import org.bukkit.entity.Player;
import org.bukkit.event.EventHandler;
import org.bukkit.event.Listener;
import org.bukkit.event.player.AsyncPlayerChatEvent;
import org.bukkit.plugin.java.JavaPlugin;
 
public class CrimsonGaming extends JavaPlugin implements Listener
{   
   
    public boolean log = true;
   
    public YamlConfiguration yc = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(getResource("economy.yml"));
    File cf = new File(getDataFolder(), "economy.yml");
   
    public void log(Level level, String message)
    {
        if(log)
        {
            getLogger().log(level, message);
        }
    }
   
    public void enableListeners()
    {
        Bukkit.getPluginManager().registerEvents(this, this);
    }
   
    public void loadData()
    {
       
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onEnable()
    {
        enableListeners();
        loadData();
        unpack();
    }
   
    @Override
    public void onDisable()
    {
       
    }
   
    @EventHandler
    public void onChat(AsyncPlayerChatEvent event) throws IOException
    {
        Player player = event.getPlayer();
        String message = event.getMessage();
        String[] args = message.split(" ");
        String cmd = args[0];
       
        if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(".setupecon"))
        {
            log(Level.INFO, "Setting up economy...");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Setting up economy...");
            yc.set("config.log", true);
            yc.set("config.seedmoney", "150");
            yc.set("config.bonusmoney", "100");
            yc.set("config.bank.min", "0");
            yc.set("config.bank.max", "1000000000");
            yc.save(cf);
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
        if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(".money_give"))
        {
            log(Level.INFO, "Giving player " + player.getName() + " 1,000,000 dollars.");
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Giving you $100.");
            yc.set("player."+player.getName()+".balance", "100");
            yc.save(cf);
        }
        if(message.equalsIgnoreCase(".money"))
        {
            String balance = yc.getString("player."+player.getName()+".balance");
            log(Level.INFO, "Balance of player " + player.getName() + ": " + balance);
            player.sendMessage(ChatColor.RED + "Your current net worth: " + balance);
            event.setCancelled(true);
        }
    }
   
    private void unpack()
    {
        try
        {
            if (cf.exists())
            {
                log(Level.INFO, "Economy detected, skipping unpacking process...");
            }
            else
            {
                log(Level.INFO, "No economy detected, creating new one...");
                yc.save(cf);
            }
        }
        catch (IOException e)
        {
            log(Level.SEVERE, "Could not create economy!");
        }
    }
}

Now, for the explanation.

This part here returns null on reload, even though the config shows it has data:

Code:

String balance = yc.getString("player."+player.getName()+".balance");

I don't quite have enough experience with this, so that's why I made a demo plugin for it, so I can use it on my main projects.

Also, I don't get an error, just this part right here:

Code:

log(Level.INFO, "Balance of player " + player.getName() + ": " + balance);

Says this:
Balance of player Dudemister1999: null

I solved it. I forgot that getResource() gets a file inside the jar, which cannot be edited. Here is the code I used to fix it:

Code:

logUtil.info(prefixUtil.log() + "Loading economy.");
if (statsConfigFile.exists())
yc = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(statsConfigFile);
else
yc = YamlConfiguration.loadConfiguration(getResource("stats.yml"));

EDIT: That's from my main project.
