Plugin won't load, Checked all error messages and can't figure out problem.

I just coded a customizable freeze plugin, with a config that you can change the message while frozen and the prefix of frozen. I check the logs and couldn't work out why it wouldn't work? I have my console log in a pastebin here:

I know it has something to do with the ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes I used for allowing color codes in the config.yml. Here's all the lines of code that I used it in:

Code:

    String prefix = ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', getConfig().getString("freezeprefix"));      

            p.sendMessage(prefix + ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', prefix + getConfig().getString("frozenmessage")));

p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&b&m------MinkSS------"));
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "/freeze <player>");
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.GOLD + "/ss <player>");
p.sendMessage(ChatColor.translateAlternateColorCodes('&', "&b&m------MinkSS------"));

I can't seem to figure out the error. I'll have the config here too:

config.yml: http://pastebin.com/76se774W

Sorry If I'm being stupid here, But I'm new to developing, and I'd like to learn more.

EDIT: The plugin worked fine until I added config support.

 

@Mindlessmink
& is a special character in YAML, you need to escape it by putting the string in apostrophes or quotes.

 

Oh, Sorry I made such a simple mistake. Thanks @AlvinB
