How to Add Schedules to Your Server
November 26, 2024
Effortlessly automate your game server with schedules. Learn how to set up Cron timings and assign tasks like sending commands, restarting, or creating backups for seamless server management.
What are server properties?
The server.properties file stores the settings of your Minecraft server. It determines the game mode, the difficulty and the number of players allowed on your server. The server.properties file is a text file with UTF-8 encoding and can be edited with text editors like Notepad and TextEdit. It is important to keep the exact structure of the text file. To simplify the process and avoid errors, you can customize the text file directly in your Pockethost server overview.
Go to the options tab of your server. There you will find the SERVER.PROPERTIES section, which you can expand. Here you can change the properties of your server with a few clicks. After the properties have been adjusted, the server must be restarted for the changes to be applied.
List of adjustable server properties
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| World Type | Determines your world type. You can choose between the Default World, Flat World, Large Biomes and Mountainous World. The property affects how your world is generated and therefore only works before the first start of the server. |
| Difficulty | Determines the difficulty on your server. At the Peaceful level, no monsters spawn. The more difficult you want it to be, the more monsters spawn and the stronger they are. |
| Maximum Players | Sets how many players can be active on your server at the same time. |
| Whitelist enabled | If you activate the whitelist, only players on the whitelist can join the server. With the command "/whitelist add IN_GAME_NAME" you can add your friends to the whitelist. |
| Allow Cheats | Determines whether each player can use commands |
| View Distance | Determines the maximum view distance measured in number of chunks. |
| Hardcore | Put the world in hardcore mode. Deaths are final. | PvP allowed | When PvP mode is enabled, players can deal direct damage to each other. |
| XBox Authentication enabled | Only players with a valid Minecraft account are allowed to join the server |
| Allow flight | Players can fly |
| Nether enabled | Allows players to travel to the Nether. If this property is disabled, Nether portals will not work |
| Enable command block | Enables command blocks |
| Spawn Animals | Determines if animals spawn in your world |
| Spawn Monsters | Determines if monsters spawn in your world |
| Spawn NPCs | Determines if NPCs spawn in your world |
| Spawn Protection | Spawn protection prevents players from building in spawn, undoing any attempts at placing or breaking Blocks. This property determines the side length of the spawn protection area. |
