Talk:Server.properties/Archive 1

Not having the game in front of me, is it port or server-port? If they are both supported, shouldn't we have one refer to the other? –The preceding unsigned comment was added by Curio (Talk . Please sign your posts with   !


 * It's server-port. I don't know if port alone is supported, I doubt it though. --BahamutSalad 02:43, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

I believe the server doesn't use the "verify-names" option anymore, this string doesn't even appear in the .class files as of SMP version 0.2.1. It only uses "online-mode". Hence "verify-names" should be removed from the list. Legorol 13:24, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Monsters
It might be useful to state here that in the current Alpha build, a bug circumvents this from working as it should, but that's just my two cents.

There's discussion of the presence of the 'monsters' key but no information about what goes in it, or what format it takes. The same is true of the 'no-animals' key.
 * The 'monsters' key seems to stem from pre-beta times. A newly generated server.properties doesn't have it, nor the 'no-animals' key. I think this page needs a general overhaul... Fischertechniklas 17:02, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Classic vs Survival (Alpha)
Not all of these properties is available under the two game mode. I think we should specify witch property is available under Classic and witch is available under Survival (Alpha). --DjDCH 19:34, 31 October 2010 (UTC)


 * There, I fixed it all up. Hopefully people like it because it took AGES! -F1racer101 09:14, 11 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks to you, miner ! --DjDCH 06:05, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

MOTD display
...Except, does the MOTD really even display? (Alpha) --Mousey Tue Nov 30 12:06:28 PST 2010


 * Good point. There is already a thread on getsatisfaction. --DjDCH 06:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Server Default Port
In the section at the top it says that default port is 25364, but in the server-port section it says the default port is 25565. I recently started a server after Jan. 9th, and my default port was 25565. I'm running on a mac if it makes a difference.

Add level-seed
I have no clue what it does, but its new to version 1.4, someone add and explain its purpose. --EarthBoundX5 20:07, 31 March 2011 (CST)

spawn-protection-size vs spawn-protection
I believe this node is only present in Bukkit servers, in which Bukkit follows to change the spawn protection size. I believe it can be any value. However, it is not vanilla-based, so this should be removed, or at least noted that it is only present in Bukkit servers. The PC Tech Guy 04:56, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm being very verbose here because the section for spawn-protection was edited when the discussion was about spawn-protection-size.

I tested this on a completely vanilla server. I set spawn-protection=false and I was able to edit the spawn area as a normal user (not op or admin)

The setting spawn-protection-size does not exist in vanilla as stated. --Beverage 12:50, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

This property does not seem to work on vanilla SMP. I tried it on a new server. It didn't work. Can someone confirm this? Also if you don't have a server.properties in the server directory and a new one gets created, it does not contain the property. --Nordic42 21:12, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

I removed this entry from this list because it isn't supported by vanilla at all. (both options) Maybe we can readd them but with a notice that they only work with bukkit or hMod. --Blubbi 14:35, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

File location
Not always obvious. Just read a reddit post by a confused windows user, and I was pretty unsure where it'd show up in linux. Anyway, I think there should be a section on it towards the top of the page. Stevepoppers 01:17, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

WHERE IS THE SERVER.PROPERTIES FILE I CAN'T FIND IT

Agreed. I can't find this file either. I downloaded minecraft server and ran it, but there was no file named server.properties. Is it necessary for the windows version? If not, how do I alter server properties? Please respond.


 * Server.properties extracts from the Minecraft_server.jar/Minecraft_server.exe automatically into the directory which it is in...it may only be called "server" as your computer may hide file extensions. --HexZyle 03:05, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

1.9 new settings?
I've just noticed the 1.9pre4 server generates a default file with "enable-rcon=false" and "enable-query=false". Any idea what these are for? 87.254.69.224 16:03, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Is this in the server.properties? --HexZyle 01:37, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
