Configure server.properties for Your Minecraft Server

server.properties

The server.properties file is where your server’s configurations are stored, it provides the ability to alter certain settings and mechanics of your server. Furthermore, it can be used to customize your server in any way based on your needs.

Format

The format of this file is very simple. First comes the “key”, which is used to identify the setting/configuration, then an equal sign “=”, and last but not least, the “value” of the key. All of them combined on one line is called a “string”. One such example is:

online-mode=true

“true” is used to signify enabled and “false” is used to signify disabled.

Make sure to not add any extra spaces as it may cause errors. All strings are case-sensitive, so make sure to write them as is. If a certain string does not exist, you may simply add it in a new line.
