Default Server Settings

  • Views Views: 5,062
  • Last updated Last updated:
  • Server settings are set with three files: bukkit.yml containing bukkit specific settings, spigot.yml for the spigot settings, paper for paper settings, and server.properties for minecraft settings.

    This complete cluster***k of settings is because of the history of development of the server API.
    In the beginning there was Bukkit API, which introduced settings specific to Bukkit. Spigot is a performance-based fork on the now defunct Bukkit API, which also added additional settings. Paper is an even more performant and configurable fork of Spigot and also adds extra settings.

    I personally don't think there's a single dev anymore who knows what settings takes precedence to another, but these are the default files that are generated on a fresh install.
