Server Data Layout

config.toml
resources/
data/
  public/
  internal/
  instances/
  navigation/

Path	Contents
resources/	Server, shared, and client Lua scripts.
data/public/	Download files generated by the server. Do not edit them manually.
data/internal/	Server-only files used by JSON, TOML, and SQLite.
data/instances/	Required items.json and anims.json files.
data/navigation/	Waypoint and freepoint files for each world.

The server will not start without valid data/instances/items.json and data/instances/anims.json files. Navigation file names use the lower-case world name, for example newworld.json.

To generate the files, use client debug console commands, eg. generate items.
