2. Place the GroupConfig.dll file into the ServerPlugins folder of your TShock installation.
3. Restart your TShock server to enable the plugin.

Configuration Example

The plugin will generate a GroupConfig.json file on the first run. Customize this file to suit your server's needs. Here's an updated snippet:

{
  "Blacklist": [
    "rank_*",
    "test_group"
  ],
  "Groups": {
    "admin": {
      "Parent": "newadmin",
      "Commands": "tshock.admin.ban,tshock.cfg.whitelist,tshock.npc.spawnboss,tshock.npc.spawnmob",
      "Chat Color": [255, 255, 255],
      "Prefix": null,
      "Suffix": null
    },
    "trustedadmin": {
      "Parent": "admin",
      "Commands": "tshock.cfg.*,tshock.world.*,tshock.item.spawn,tshock.heal",
      "Chat Color": [255, 255, 255],
      "Prefix": null,
      "Suffix": null
    }
  }
}

---

Usage Tips

• Blacklist Usage: Add wildcard patterns to the Blacklist to exclude matching groups during configuration updates.
• Reload Configuration: Use the /reload command to apply changes to the configuration without restarting the server.
