Server Settings

Configuring your Minekube AI Minecraft server — defaults, game rules, and how to change settings through the AI

Server Settings

Changing Settings via AI

The easiest way to change any server setting is to tell the AI what you want:

set max players to 50
enable the whitelist
turn on keep inventory
disable PvP
set difficulty to hard
change the world border to 500 blocks
change the MOTD to "Welcome to my server!"
enable command blocks

The AI modifies the correct config files (server.properties, spigot.yml, Paper configs, etc.) and applies changes — usually without needing a server restart.

For changes that require a restart (some server.properties values), the AI restarts the server automatically and lets you know.

Server Defaults

Your server comes pre-configured with these defaults:

Setting	Default Value
Minecraft Version	Paper 1.21
Memory	2-4 GB
Game Mode	Survival
Difficulty	Normal
Max Players	20
Online Mode	Off (handled by proxy)
Nether	Disabled
The End	Disabled
Spawn Protection	16 blocks

Online Mode is off because authentication is handled by the Minekube Connect proxy layer. Players are still authenticated — it is not a cracked server.

Game Rules

Common game rules you can change through the AI. Just describe what you want in plain language:

What You Say	Game Rule	Value
”enable keep inventory”	keepInventory	true
”disable mob griefing”	mobGriefing	false
”stop fire from spreading”	doFireTick	false
”make it always daytime”	doDaylightCycle	false
”disable phantom spawning”	doInsomnia	false
”show player coordinates”	reducedDebugInfo	false
”disable natural regeneration”	naturalRegeneration	false
”stop TNT from destroying blocks”	tntExplosionDropDecay	true
”increase random tick speed”	randomTickSpeed	6 (default: 3)

You do not need to remember the exact game rule names. Just describe the behavior you want and the AI translates it.

Configuration Files

The AI can modify any server configuration file. The most common ones:

server.properties

Core Minecraft server settings: max players, difficulty, game mode, MOTD, world name, spawn protection, PvP toggle, and more.

change max players to 100
set the MOTD to a custom message
disable PvP in the overworld

spigot.yml

Spigot-specific settings: entity activation range, mob spawn limits, item merge radius, and performance tuning.

optimize the server for less lag
increase entity render distance

Paper configuration

Paper-specific optimizations and features: async chunk loading, anti-cheat settings, gameplay tweaks.

enable anti-xray
optimize chunk loading

Whitelist and operators

Player access control:

enable the whitelist
add Steve to the whitelist
make Alex an operator
remove Griefer123 from the whitelist

Data Persistence

All your server data is persistent — it survives server restarts and hibernation cycles. This includes:

World files (terrain, builds, player data)

Plugin configurations and data

Skript scripts and variables

Server settings and config files

Operator and whitelist entries

Nothing is lost when your server hibernates or restarts. Your world, plugins, scripts, and all settings are exactly as you left them.
