HotProperties

Change server.properties values while the server is running, no restart needed. Changes are written back to the file, so they survive restarts.

Commands

All commands require operator level 4. /hotproperties is an alias for /hp.

  • /hp reload: reload server.properties and apply changes. Dedicated servers only.
  • /hp view-distance <2-32>: set view distance.
  • /hp simulation-distance <2-32>: set simulation distance.
  • /hp motd <text>: set the server MOTD.
  • /hp idle-timeout <minutes>: set the idle kick timeout. 0 disables it.
  • /hp spawn-protection <radius>: set spawn protection radius. 0 disables it. Dedicated servers only.
  • /hp command-blocks <true/false>: enable or disable command blocks. Dedicated servers only.

View distance, simulation distance, MOTD and idle timeout apply immediately. Spawn protection and command blocks are handled by mixins instead.
