Accepting the EULA

On first start the server may ask you to accept the Mojang license. The panel will show a prompt — click “I accept”. To do it manually, set this in eula.txt:

eula.txt
eula=true

Basic configuration

server.properties
motd=§b§lMy Server §7| §eWelcome!
difficulty=normal
white-list=false
view-distance=8
simulation-distance=6
online-mode=true
⚠️

Don't change server-portThe port is assigned by the panel. Changing it in the file will stop the server from starting or make it unreachable.
