Setting config options

Most TARDIS plugin config options can be set ingame or via the console, and take effect immediately.

There are three types of config options:

Boolean values e.g. true or false
String values e.g. the names of things, like the TARDIS key
Integer values e.g. numbers, like the cost of a room

To use the /tardisadmin command to set config options, you use the syntax:

/tardisadmin [config option] [value]

For example, to set the TARDIS to never land on water you would type:

/tardisadmin land_on_water false
