Doc Summary
Introduction #
In this doc you will find usefull information regarding your Minecraft Bedrock Game Server at ProRedLine. After reading this doc, you’ll know how to customize your server, configure your server, and more.
Startup #
Once the server has been created, you will need to configure it before it can run as expected.
On your server’s dashboard, go to the “Startup” tab. Here, you will find several settings that you can configure according to your specific needs. Below is a list of options available for your ARK: Survival Ascended server in the “Startup” tab:
- STARTUP COMMAND and DOCKER IMAGE are read-only variables and cannot be modified.
Variables Nukkit #
- SERVER JAR FILE. This is the name of the JAR file used to run the server. It is not recommended to change this value, but it is possible. Changing this may break your server.
- NUKKIT VERSION. This indicates the version of Nukkit currently utilized on your server. By default, the latest version is used.
Variables Pocketmine #
- VERSION TO INSTALL. Here, you can select the version to install, either the latest version of PM5 or the latest version of PM4.
Variables Vanilla #
- BEDROCK VERSION. The default is the latest version, but you have the option to change the server version to any version of your choice.
- SERVER NAME. This is the in-game name of your server. You can modify it to any name you prefer.
- GAMEMODE. You can set this to Survival, Creative, or Adventure. The default setting is Survival.
- DIFFICULTY. This setting determines the difficulty level of your server. The default option is Normal, but you can change it to Peaceful, Easy, or Hard based on your preference.
- ALLOW CHEATS. To enable in-game cheats, activate this option. By default, it is disabled.
Starting your server #
- Once you have configured all the settings, you can start the server by going to the “Console” tab and clicking “Start”.
- Wait a few moments for the server to boot. When you see the message:
“[INFO] Done (<number>s)! For help, type “help” or “?””
or
“Server started.” - Your server is fully booted and ready to be joined.
Changing Configurations #
If you wish to change settings not listed in the Variables section, you can edit the server’s config file located at /home/container/server.properties. However, note that any changes to the Variables options in the “Startup” tab will override the corresponding settings in the config file. We recommend only changing values in the config file that are not listed in the Startup tab.
Updating server #
To update your server’s software, follow these steps:
- Go to the “Settings” Tab: Open your server dashboard and navigate to the Settings tab.
- Scroll Down: Locate the option labeled Reinstall Server.
- Click on “Reinstall Server”: This will start the reinstallation process.
Important note: Reinstalling your server using this method will update the core files only. Your saved data, mods, and custom configurations will generally remain intact. However, we strongly recommend creating a backup of all essential data before proceeding, as some server types may still overwrite or remove custom content.
Clean Reinstallation #
To fully reinstall your server with a clean set of software and files:
- Stop the Server: Ensure your server is not running.
- Delete All Files: Navigate to the Files tab, select all folders and files, and click Delete.
- Reinstall the Server: Once all files are removed, follow the same steps outlined above for updating your server.
Note: This process will permanently remove all files from your server, including custom folders, mods, and configurations. This action is irreversible unless you have created a backup in advance.
