For pack creators and server admins, consistent defaults matter when a new server is generated. Default Server Properties Mod lets a modpack developer define a default-server.properties file in the root of the pack so selected settings override the normal creation of server.properties, while Minecraft’s native loading handles the rest.
Key Features
- Uses a
default-server.propertiesfile in the pack root to override howserver.propertiesis first created. - Changes only the properties you specify, leaving the remaining values to Minecraft’s native loading.
- Automatically injects the default settings when no
default-used.markerfile is present. - Targets modpack creators who want more consistent server settings across installations.
