Archery and Fighting Options
damage-based - Option to grant XP every time a player attacks per damage dealt instead of killing the mob. WARNING: This still uses the values in sources_config.yml as the XP granted PER VANILLA DAMAGE for each type of mob. You should significantly lower and equalize the archery and fighting values in sources_config.yml if you want to keep the progression similar to before.
spawner-multiplier - Option to change the XP gained from mobs spawned from spawners. Set to 0 to disable XP from mob spawners; set to 1 to match regular mobs (1 by default). The XP gained is the spawner-multiplier value multiplied by the XP a normal mob of that type would give.

health:
modifier - How much vanilla hp should be given for every Health level (2 = 1 vanilla heart). By default it is 0.5, which means players will gain half of half a heart (0.25 of a heart) for every Health level. This is not affected by hp-indicator-scaling.
health-scaling - If enabled, hearts are scaled at high enough hps (purely visual), maxing out at 20 hearts. (This option is to prevent hearts taking up a large portion of the screen, however this means that 1 heart at low hps will not be worth the same as 1 heart at high hps)
hp-indicator-scaling - How much vanilla hp should be multiplied by for display on the action bar and menus (Does not affect actual health, purely visual)
update-delay - How many ticks the plugin should wait before updating health on world switches (keep at 0 unless you are having plugin compatibility issues)
force-base-health - If enabled, base health will be forced to 20 every time health updates (only enable if you are having plugin compatibility issues)
hearts - This section is used to change the hearts shown for different health ranges. The key is the number of hearts and the value is the minecraft health that amount of hearts is unlocked at.
For example, if two entries are '12': 29 and '13': 37, this means the player will have 12 hearts shown on their screen when their minecraft health is from 29 (inclusive) to 37 (exclusive).
The values are not the HP shown on the action bar. To find the HP from the action bar the value is, multiply it by the health.hp-indicator-scaling option (default is 5).
This supports hearts below 10 and hearts above 20, just add entries with the key as the number of hearts.
The order of keys and values should be sequential, otherwise higher heart entries will override lower ones.
This is purely cosmetic, changing these options does not change the actual hp you have.
This only works if you have health.health-scaling set to true.
keep-full-on-increase - If enabled, a player with full health that has a health stat increase will keep full health. Players will not need to regenerate extra health if they were already at full health before their max health increased.
strength:
modifier - How much vanilla damage should be added for every Strength level (2 = 1 vanilla heart of damage). If use-percent is set to true, the new damage is damage = originalDamage * (1 + (strength * modifier) / 100).
hand-damage - Whether strength should work on fists and items that aren't tools or weapons)
bow-damage - Whether strength should apply for bows
display-damage-with-health-scaling - Whether the Strength descriptors in the stats menu should display damage with health.hp-indicator-scaling
use-percent - Whether strength should be calculated on a percentage basis, rather than adding. This will make the base damage more important so waiting for the attack cooldown and using a better weapon will be more important. If this is true, the recommended modifier is 0.63.
toughness:
new-modifier - Controls the power of the Toughness stat in reducing damage (See this for more info)
regeneration:
custom-regen-mechanics - Whether custom regeneration mechanics should be enabled (allows the control of regen delays but doesn't feel as vanilla)

hunger-full-modifier - How much additional health should be regenerated per Regeneration level when the player is at full hunger but does not have saturation

saturated-delay - How fast health should regenerate when the player has saturation, in ticks, if custom-regen-mechanics are enabled
hunger-delay - How fast health should regenerate when the player does not have saturation, in ticks, if custom-regen-mechanics are enabled
mana-modifier - How much additional mana should be regenerated per second per Wisdom level
base-mana-regen - The base amount of mana regenerated when Regeneration is 0
luck:
modifier - How much luck attribute should be given per Luck level
double-drop-enabled - Whether the luck double drop functionality is enabled
double-drop-modifier - The chance modifier for double drop per Luck level
double-drop-percent-max - The maximum percent chance for double drops
wisdom:
anvil-cost-modifier - The anvil XP cost reduced per Wisdom level
