What is a server.properties file?

The server.properties file is the main configuration file for Minecraft Java Edition servers. It contains settings that control how your server operates, including world generation, player limits, game rules, and network configuration.

Can I use this for modded servers?

Yes! This tool generates standard server.properties files that work with Vanilla, Forge, Fabric, Paper, Spigot, and most other server software. Some modded servers may have additional configuration files for mod-specific settings.

How do I apply the generated configuration?

Download the generated server.properties file and replace the existing one in your server directory. Make sure to backup your current configuration first and restart your server to apply changes.

What are the recommended performance settings?

For optimal performance, use view-distance of 6-10, simulation-distance of 6-8, and enable network compression. Adjust max-players based on your server hardware and expected concurrent users.
