# Rules Mod — Install Procedure

## Important: Do NOT place config files manually

Forge generates `world/serverconfig/firefrostrules-server.toml` (or
`discordrules-server.toml` for the generic version) on first server start.
Placing a config file manually before the first run will cause Forge to
overwrite it with defaults — your bot token, channel ID, and message ID
will be lost.

## Correct Install Steps

1. Place the jar in the server's `mods/` folder
2. Start the server once — Forge generates the config with defaults
3. Stop the server
4. Edit `world/serverconfig/firefrostrules-server.toml`:
   - Set `bot_token` to your Discord bot token
   - Set `channel_id` to the channel containing your rules message
   - Set `message_id` to the specific message ID
5. Start the server again

## Verify It Worked

Check server logs on startup for:
```
Rules mod config loaded successfully. Channel: <your_channel_id>
```

If you see this instead, the config is still on defaults:
```
Rules mod is using default config values! Edit world/serverconfig/firefrostrules-server.toml
```

## Config Location

The config lives at `world/serverconfig/` — NOT `config/`.
This is standard Forge SERVER config behavior.
