World Config

[boformer]

Many plugins need a configuration per world (e.g. plot plugin: plot size per world). Sponge should provide a configuration file (or a config section) per dimension and per world for plugins.

Why?

• all world-related config data stored in one place
• make it easy to rename a world
• make it possible to bundle world-related plugin configs with a world (e.g. for adventure maps)
• resolves the problem that the unique identifier of a world is a UUID (not-human-readable)

This commit (SpongePowered/Sponge@be08be0) adds these files for Sponge configuration data. It would be easy to add a subsection for plugin config data.

Thoughts on this?

@boformer @Zidane Yes, I have already thought about allowing plugins to tap into the configs. I have it on my TODO list.

As the developer of PlotMe I would just like to say that this would really help make the process easier to setup worlds.

@bloodmc, @Zidane, I'm not familiar enough with the world configs, but seeing as this hasn't been replied to in many months, is this currently possible?

It would be nice to have this added soon. For a private server, I need to clone worlds, and plugins' configuration for those worlds would need to be copied as well.

@boformer @gabizou @JBYoshi @MattBDev This is now a top priority before our beta release. We are working on it now.

Thanks!

@Zidane Thoughts on this getting finished?
