DayZ uses several types of JSON files, each serving a specific purpose:
profile Folder (Server Identity)serverData.json – Server name, password, MOTD (Message of the Day).battleye.json – Ban lists and admin logs.Common mistake:
cfg Folder (Server Rules & Economy)types.xml (Technically XML, but treated as core config) – Manages loot spawns, quantities, and lifetimes.globals.xml – Max animals, zombie limits, time acceleration.events.xml – Dynamic events (helicopter crashes, convoys).cfglimitsdefinition.xml – Group and raid limits.
