Server properties - randomblink/PocketMine-MP GitHub Wiki
server.properties is the file which stores the settings for the Server.
If you are going to edit server.properties it is important that you use the same structure as the original Minecraft uses, although the order of the lines is arbitrary. The text before the equal sign is the key, which you shouldn't change. The text after the equal sign is the property's value, which you can edit. Lines that begin with # are comments - altering or removing these lines has no effect on the game.
As of the Development release 19aa4bd5, you can set those options through the command line.
Example: ./start.sh PocketMine-MP.php --port=19135 --max-players=15 --pvp=off
