Configure difficulty
In server.properties, set difficulty=normal or hard, disable pvp=false for a family server. Enable spawn-protection=16 to protect the spawn area.
Backups & saves
You can create and download a backup at any time from the FreeMCHost panel, and install SimpleBackups for custom restore points. We do not run automatic daily backups, so make a habit of taking your own.
Frequently Asked Questions
What plugins for a survival server?+
EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldGuard, CoreProtect, Jobs Reborn, and ChestShop form the base of a community survival server.
Should I pre-generate the world?+
Yes, strongly recommended with Chunky on a radius of 3 to 5 km. This avoids slowdowns during exploration.
