server.properties generator

1. 1Stop the server. It rewrites server.properties when it shuts down, so changes made while it runs can be lost.
2. 2Replace server.properties in the server's main folder with the downloaded one, or paste over the lines you changed.
3. 3Start the server again.

Settings you leave out keep their default; the server adds any missing ones the next time it starts.

Kiphost manages server-port and server-ip for you, and keeps online-mode=true so accounts stay safe. The rest can be changed in Files or Settings on your dashboard.

view-distance and simulation-distance matter most. View distance is how many chunks the server sends to each player; simulation distance is how far away mobs move and crops grow. On a small shared server, 8 view and 6 simulation are a good balance. The lag guide goes into more detail.

• level-seed only applies when the world is first made. Changing it later does nothing until you delete the world folder.
• white-list=true with nobody added locks everyone out, you included. Add yourself with whitelist add first.
• online-mode=false lets anyone join with any name, including yours. Leave it on unless you run a proxy like Velocity.
• spawn-protection stops non-operators building near spawn. Set it to 0 if friends can't break blocks there.
