Determines the server-side viewing distance.

Sets the amount of world data the server sends the client, measured in chunks in each direction of the player (radius, not diameter).

Sets the maximum distance from players that living entities may be located in order to be updated by the server

Measured in chunks in each direction of the player (radius, not diameter).

If entities are outside of this radius, then they will not be ticked by the server nor will they be visible to players.

Determines the side length of the square spawn protection area as 2x+1.

Setting this to 0 disables the spawn protection.

A value of 1 protects a 3x3 square centered on the spawn point. 2 protects 5x5, 3 protects 7x7, etc.

Determines the world preset/level type that is generated.

Escaping : with \ is required when using a world preset ID, and the vanilla world preset ID's namespace (minecraft:) can be omitted.

For 1.19 and after:

• minecraft:normal - A flat world with no features, can be modified with generator-settings.
• minecraft:flat - A flat world with no features, can be modified with generator-settings.
• minecraft:large_biomes - Same as default but all biomes are larger.
• minecraft:amplified - Same as default but world-generation height limit is increased.
• minecraft:single_biome_surface - A buffet world which the entire overworld consists of one biome, can be modified with generator-settings.

For 1.18 and before:

• default - Standard world with hills, valleys, water, etc.
• flat - A flat world with no features, can be modified with generator-settings.
• largeBiomes - Same as default but all biomes are larger.
• amplified - Same as default but world-generation height limit is increased.

For 1.15 and before:

• buffet - Same as default unless generator-settings is set.
• default_1_1 - Same as default, but counted as a different world type.
• customized - After 1.13, this value is no different than default, but in 1.12 and before, it could be used to create a completely custom world.

Sets the default permission level for ops when using /op. All levels inherit abilities and commands from levels before them.

• 1 - Ops can bypass spawn protection.
• 2 - Ops can use all singleplayer cheats commands (except /publish, as it is not on servers; along with /debug) and use command blocks. Command blocks, along with Realms owners/operators, have the same permissions as this level
• 3 - Ops can use most multiplayer-exclusive commands, including /debug, and commands that manage players (/ban, /op, etc).
• 4 - Ops can use all commands including /stop, /save-all, /save-on, and /save-off.

Allows servers to accept incoming transfers via a transfer packet.

• Enabled - Incoming transfers are allowed, and the server must approve it.
• Disabled - Incoming transfers are rejected, and the player is disconnected.

Makes the server appear as online on the server list.

If disabled, it will suppress replies from clients. This means it will appear as offline, but will still accept connections.

Sets the MOTD seen on the multiplayer screen in the Minecraft client.

Pssst. Did you know that you can create your MOTD here?

If the ISP/AS sent from the server is different from the one from Mojang Studios' authentication server, the player is kicked.

• Enabled - Server prevents users from using VPNs or proxies.
• Disabled - The server doesn't prevent users from using VPNs or proxies

Defines the port, query information is sent on.

Unless you have a good reason, this should always be the same as server-port.

Optional URI to a resource pack. The player may choose to use it.

Note that (in some versions before 1.15.2), the ":" and "=" characters need to be escaped with a backslash (\), e.g. http\://somedomain.com/somepack.zip?someparam\=somevalue

The resource pack may not have a larger file size than 250 MiB (Between 1.17 and 1.15: 100 MiB, Before 1.15: 50 MiB)

Will be displayed on disconnection screen, if disconnection was caused by packet handling error, and included as a comment in disconnection report.

This field should contain well-formed URL.

The maximum number of milliseconds a single tick may take before the server watchdog stops the server. Once this criterion is met, it calls System.exit(1). Setting this to -1 disables the watchdog entirely.

By default it allows packets that are n-1 bytes big to go normally, but a packet of n bytes or more gets compressed down. So, a lower number means more compression but compressing small amounts of bytes might actually end up with a larger result than what went in.

• -1 - disable compression entirely
• 0 - compress everything

Note: The Ethernet spec requires that packets less than 64 bytes become padded to 64 bytes. Thus, setting a value lower than 64 may not be beneficial. It is also not recommended to exceed the MTU, typically 1500 bytes.
