Minecraft Server Properties Guide
Minecraft server properties allow administrators to customize various aspects of their server. These settings adjust gameplay mechanics such as game mode, difficulty, and world generation options. They also manage server performance by setting the maximum number of players and controlling the server’s view distance.
