If using DayZ Expansion, navigate to /profiles/ExpansionMod/Settings/ . Each JSON file controls a specific aspect of Expansion behavior. Stop your server before editing, and restart after saving changes.

: This file manages server-wide survival settings, including player health, stamina, disease systems, and vehicle damage.

The Expansion mod suite includes many other JSON configuration files:

| Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | version | int | Internal version tracking | | spawnGearPresetFiles | string array | Enables player gear spawn JSON configuration files | | objectSpawnersArr | string array | References JSON files containing object spawn data | | disableRespawnDialog | bool | Disables the respawn selection UI dialog | | disableRespawnInUnconsciousness | bool | Prevents respawn from pause menu when unconscious | | disablePersonalLight | bool | Turns off the persistent personal light source | | lightingConfig | int | Night brightness (0 = bright, 1 = dark) | | wetnessWeightModifiers | float array | Weight changes based on item wetness levels |

DayZ server configuration relies heavily on JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) files. These files control everything from loot distribution to weather patterns and zombie spawning. Unlike the old .cfg or .txt style configs, JSON is stricter but allows for more complex, nested data structures.
