Changing Server Settings

Launch & Resource Allocation

Each server starts with the default JAR file and RAM allocation as set in the Gorp configuration file. Each server can override these settings, though.

gorp config [server]

In the file, there are two options that can be changed:

  • CUSTOM_JAR An absolute path to a JAR file. (Example: /home/user/minecraft.jar)
  • CUSTOM_RAM Allocate more or less ram to a server. (Example: 8G)

Changing server.properties

server.properties is the Minecraft server configuration file. You can manually edit the file, but Gorp gives you a way to automate this.

gorp prop [server] [key] [value]

Where “server” is the server name, “key” is the property name, and “value” is the setting you’d like to set. To set a value with spaces, wrap them in quotes.

Examples:

  • gorp prop my-server server-port 25565
  • gorp prop my-server difficulty hard
  • gorp prop my-server motd “My wonderful server!”
