Serverproperties Minecraft Wiki

The default server.properties file for Java Edition.

server.properties is the file that shops all the settings for a multiplayer (Minecraft or Minecraft Classic) server.

When enhancing server.properties, it will be important that the identical structure as the unique is used, though the order of the lines is arbitrary. The text before the equal sign is the key, which should not be modified. The text after the equal signal is the property's worth, which will be edited. Strains that begin with # are feedback - altering or removing these strains has no effect on the sport.

After adjustments are made to the server.properties file, the server should be restarted for them to take effect. Another choice is to use the /reload command in the server console or in-sport, which will also permit changes to be reloaded.

If the server.properties file does not list all properties (resembling if a brand new version of the server provides new properties, or if the file doesn't exist), then on startup, the server rewrites the server.properties file with the brand new properties listed and set them to their default values.

The server.properties file is just a standard textual content file with UTF-eight encoding, regardless of its extension, and can therefore be edited with any textual content editor similar to Notepad for Windows, TextEdit for Mac, or nano and vim for Linux.
