• I am using a version of WorldGuard compatible with my Minecraft version.
• I am using the latest or recommended version of my platform software.
• I am NOT using a hybrid server, e.g. a server that combines Bukkit and Forge. Examples include Arclight, Mohist, and Cardboard.

Bug Description

On server start-up, plugins/WorldGuard/config.yml is (re)written without comments at top of file. The comments are contained in the defaults/config.yml file in the JAR. The comments are (re)written on Paper 1.20.6, and on both Paper and Spigot with previous versions of WorldGuard.

Expected Behavior

Rewrite file with comments, regardless of platform.

Reproduction Steps

1. Update to Spigot 1.20.6
2. Update to WorldGuard build 2266
3. Start server
4. Compare files

i don't think we do anything paper-specific here tbh, only way i can see this happening is if spigot ships a broken snakeyaml lib and paper doesn't somehow.

OK, thanks. I'll pursue that line.

This doesn't seem to be a spigot-specific issue, I get the same behaviour on Paper. When the files are initially created they have comments, after you restart your server once the comments are gone.

Agreed. Paper wasn't available when I originally posted the issue. Changed title to reflect generality.
