# default file layout

StarGenerator uses this main data folder:

```
plugins/StarGenerator/
```

## Main Files

```
plugins/StarGenerator/config.yml
plugins/StarGenerator/table/
plugins/StarGenerator/recipe/
plugins/StarGenerator/group/
plugins/StarGenerator/pack/
plugins/StarGenerator/cache/
```

## Pack Layout

```
plugins/StarGenerator/pack/<pack-name>/
  README.md
  item_paths.yml
  group/
    *.yml
  recipe/
    *.yml
  table/
    *.yml
```

## Starter Ice Cream Layout

```
plugins/StarGenerator/pack/Starter_IceCream/
  README.md
  item_paths.yml
  group/
    icecream_ingredients.yml
    icecream_outputs.yml
  recipe/
    *.yml
  table/
    frostcraft.yml
    orchardcraft.yml
    sugarcraft.yml
    syrupcraft.yml
```

## Runtime Cache

Runtime table state is stored under:

```
plugins/StarGenerator/cache/
```

Typical cache files:

```
models.yml
everyTime.yml
fully.yml
craftOrder.yml
upgradeOrder.yml
cache-state.yml
deleted-tables.yml
backups/
bad/
```

Do not edit cache files while the server is running. Stop the server before manual recovery.

## External Provider Files

Depending on installed plugins, StarGenerator may generate starter content under:

```
plugins/ItemsAdder/contents/starter_icecream/
plugins/Nexo/items/starter_icecream.yml
plugins/Nexo/pack/assets/starter_icecream/
plugins/Oraxen/items/starter_icecream.yml
plugins/Oraxen/pack/
```

StarGenerator only copies bundled defaults when target files are missing. Set `default-content.enabled` to `false` to stop bundled default extraction.
