server.properties Generator

Generate a clean Minecraft server.properties baseline for online mode, max players, difficulty, view distance, simulation distance, and command blocks.

Build server.properties

This generator produces a compact baseline you can paste into server.properties or compare against your current file. It focuses on the settings that most often affect public server safety, player capacity, and tick load.

Safe Defaults

The defaults favor a public survival-style Java server: online authentication enabled, command blocks disabled, moderate view distance, and lower simulation distance.

Leave server-ip blank unless your host explicitly tells you to bind to a specific address. Filling it incorrectly is a common cause of connection failures.

Tune Per Community

Creative, minigame, proxy, private, and modded servers may need different choices. Change settings deliberately and restart cleanly after editing.

For performance tuning, read the view distance vs simulation distance guide. For connection problems after editing, use the can't connect guide.

Before Replacing a Live File

Before you paste new settings into production:

  1. Download or copy the current server.properties.
  2. Preserve settings you intentionally customized.
  3. Restart the server cleanly.
  4. Test local access, public access, and proxy access if applicable.

FAQ

Should online-mode be true?

Public Java Edition servers should normally keep online-mode enabled unless they are behind a correctly configured authenticated proxy.

Should server-ip be set?

Most servers should leave server-ip blank unless the host requires a specific bind address.

Can I paste this over my whole file?

Use it as a baseline or comparison first. Preserve custom settings you understand, and keep a backup before replacing a live file.
