Before diving into the installation process, let's break down the basics.
DayZ servers will fail to boot if a JSON file contains syntax errors. Always validate your code before launching the server. The final step is restarting your server
As your server grows, you may have five or more mods each with their own JSON configs. Here is a professional workflow:
"objectSpawnersArr": ["custom/objects_Map.json","custom/objects_Map1.json"] If you see JSON-related errors, your syntax was invalid

Then add the file to your objectSpawnersArr in cfggameplay.json:
These settings disable damage from structures built through base-building and items such as tents and barrels.
