    Hello. Recently, a friend asked if I could edit the config file for the Pixelmon mod on my Aternos server. I attempted following the usual Files>config>pixelmon.hocon pathway as I had done many times before. As of late, while I am able to select or edit the configs for my server's other mods, I cannot do the same for Pixelmon's. I have tried deleting and "respawning" (if you will) the config file, but this did not remedy the problem. See enclosed screenshot.


    My two questions are... how can I fix this, and/or Is there another way to gain access to the pixelmon.hocon file?

    The system for detecting whether a file should be editable changed recently. That means that not all filetypes are detected as "should be editable" yet, so you might not be able to edit filetypes such as .tml, .json5 or .hocon. The team is working on that, and files with such endings and text files in general will be editable (again).

    I can only open and edit pixelmon.hocon when the server is online, if the server is offline it is impossible to open the file. Maybe the same thing happens to you, try opening pixelmon.hocon with the server online
