Server Configuration

Disclaimer: Before you get started, just noted, that theres nothing to execute. Therefore you can just launch the simple index.html file. The rest of the files will help it. For advanced development for yourself, you can load this in vsCode. I do not support your decision if you should make any edits.

To get started, just click index.html

1. IP Address:

   • The IP address is not directly configured in the dedicatedserver.cfg file. It’s determined by the machine where you’re running the server.
   • The server will listen on all available network interfaces by default.

2. Game Port:

   • The GamePort is the port used for game communication.
   • Default value: 8766.
   • Explanation: This port allows players to connect to your server and play the game.

3. Query Port:

   • The QueryPort is used for querying server information (e.g., server status, player count).
   • Default value: 27016.
   • Explanation: This port provides information to clients and server browsers.

4. BlobSync Port:

   • The BlobSyncPort is used for mod synchronization.
   • Default value: 9700.

   • Example: "serverPassword": "SecretPassword123"

8. LAN Only:

   • The lanOnly setting:
     • Set to "True" if you want your server to be accessible only on your local network (LAN).
     • Set to "False" if you want friends to connect over the internet.
   • Example: "lanOnly": false

9. Save Slots:

   • The number of save slots available for your server.
   • Example: "saveSlots": 5

    • Options:
      • "autosave": Regular automatic saves.
      • "manual": Requires manual saving.
    • Example: "saveMode": "autosave"

11. Game Mode:

    • The gameMode specifies the type of game (e.g., survival, creative).
    • Example: "gameMode": "survival"

12. Save Interval:

    • The saveInterval sets the time (in minutes) between automatic saves.
    • Example: "saveInterval": 10
