Configuration

Configuration

The server config is config/partylink.properties. It is created on the first start and rewritten on every load, so options added by an update appear automatically with their default value and a comment. Invalid values fall back to the default, numbers outside the allowed range are clamped.

Apply changes with /party admin reload or a restart.

The config only exists on the server (or in singleplayer). Personal HUD settings are not in this file: every player has their own config/partylink-client.json, see HUD Settings.
