# The generator config file

## What is it for?

In brief, each generator YAML configuration, found in the `/plugins/ParadiseLand/generators` folder is utilized by ParadiseLand to manage your custom world with custom biomes.

## The default generator configuration

As I said in the [main config -> common generator properties -> default generator](/wiki/common-generator-properties.md#default-generator-file), `eden.yml` is the default ParadiseLand generator, and it contains all the information utilized by the plugin to manage the world.

## Create your own generator

{% hint style="warning" %} <mark style="color:yellow;">Despite my efforts to make everything as simple as possible, creating a generator remains a challenging task.</mark>
{% endhint %}

Just copy the eden.yml file and give it a different name. Now, follow this entire section guide.

For example: if your file is named `my-custom-generator.yml`, you should use `ParadiseLand:my-custom-generator.yml` as a custom generator when creating a new world.
