Server Properties

The dedicated server is configurable using a server.properties file with a syntax similar to the one used in the desktop Minecraft (key=value).

Default server.properties

To start making your own server.properties, copy the default one.

level-dir=world
level-name=world
level-generator=1
level-seed=0
difficulty=0
gamemode=0
force-gamemode=false
motd=A Minecraft server
server-port=19132
server-port-v6=19133
max-players=20
online-mode=true
view-distance=22
player-idle-timeout=0

Supported properties

• level-dir (recommended to set) - name of the world in games/com.mojang/minecraftWorlds. An empty name will cause the world to be saved directly in the root worlds directory and can cause issues with saving.
• level-name - name of the world
• level-generator - the world generator (0 - old, 1 - infinite, 2 - flat)
• level-seed - world seed
• difficulty - difficulty level (default: 0 - peaceful)
• gamemode - default gamemode (default 0 - survial)
• force-gamemode - whether the gamemode should be enforced for existing players on join (default: false)
• motd - Message of the Day, displayed on the server list (has to be set for the server to be shown on the LAN world list, default: empty)
• server-port - port (default: 19132)
• server-port-v6 - port for IPv6 connections (default: 19133)
• max-players - maximal player count on the server (default: 20)
• online-mode - specifies whether Xbox Live login is required to join the server (default: true)
• view-distance - maximal supported view distance (default: 22)
• player-idle-timeout - timeout in minutes after which players will be disconnected. Unlike the desktop edition, this value supports real numbers; (default: 0 - no timeout)
