-- then try to load from world directory:
-- the filename in the world folder is MOD_NAME .. "_my-config.yml"
local settings = yaml.readConfig(MOD_NAME, "my-config.yml")
-- save the config file to world directory
-- the default filename is "config.yml" if filename not exists
-- the filename in the world folder is MOD_NAME .. "_" .."my_config.yml"
yaml.writeConfig(settings, "my-config.yml")
-- append config to file
yaml.writeConfig({ {time = os.time(), content = "content"} }, "my-log.yml", "a")
