How would I change headless server settings?

Post by ThatFordGuy »

I was wondering how I would change things like the password, max players, ext. From a headless server? I have the server up and running its just I need/would like to make it a private server.

Go into the data directory of your installation and look for a file named server-settings.example.json. Make a copy of it and rename the copy to server-settings.json, then edit it to match your desired settings. The settings are self-explaining and commented.

When starting the server use the --server-settings FILE command parameter to reference that file (replace FILE with your .json filename)

What do you mean with the launch parameters so would it be like added to the string?
