About

Description

Default Servers provides a simple solution for modpack creators trying to ship out default server lists to players. Instead of overwriting the servers.dat file, which often leads to player-added servers being deleted on updates, Default Servers allows you to ship default data inside config/default-servers.json. This file is loaded at runtime and will populate the servers.dat file if it does not exist.

Usage

The default config file is composed of a list of server entries, as seen below:

name and ip fields are required, while resources and forced are optional. Resources can be one of the following values:

  • "enabled" - server will automatically download resource packs
  • "disabled" - server will not download resource packs
  • "prompt" - server will prompt for resource packs [default]

If forced is set to true (default: false), the server will be added to the servers.dat list on boot regardless of whether the file already exists. If a server entry with the same IP address already exists, the entry will not be added.
