Frequently asked questions

How do I get started with the Default Server Properties Mod?

Create a file named default-server.properties in your main game folder (the same folder that contains your mods and config directories). Add only the server settings you want to change, then generate a new world — the mod applies them automatically on first creation.

Does the mod apply to worlds I already created?

No. The settings are only applied when a world is first generated, so existing worlds keep their current server.properties. To test your file, create a fresh world instead of loading an old one.

Do I need to copy the whole server.properties file into default-server.properties?

No, you only list the properties you actually want to change. Any setting you leave out keeps its normal default value, so a short file with just your tweaks is enough.

Where exactly does default-server.properties go?

It goes in the main game folder — the same directory that holds your mods folder and options.txt, not inside the world save or the config folder. If the mod can't find it there, nothing gets applied.
