Using Configured Defaults on a Dedicated Server

Preparing the Server Directory

Configured Defaults operates on dedicated servers as well as local game clients, allowing server owners to standardize settings without manually replacing generated files.

1. Navigate to the root folder of your Minecraft dedicated server.

2. Ensure the Configured Defaults mod is present in your server's mods folder.

3. Create a folder named configureddefaults directly in the server's root directory.

4. Move all default configuration files and target folders into configureddefaults.

Applying Configurations on Server Boot

After placing your files, deploy them by starting the server environment:

1. Start your dedicated server normally.

2. On launch, the mod scans the server directory for any configuration files that are missing.

3. Missing files and folders are automatically moved from configureddefaults to their appropriate paths across the server directory.

Because the files are copied into place automatically, server mods will not generate random default settings on their first run.
