HotProperties

🔥 HotProperties

Tired of restarting your server just to tweak the view distance or update the MOTD?

HotProperties is a lightweight, server-side mod that lets administrators hot-reload server.properties on the fly. Instantly adjust performance settings or server details without ever kicking your players. Changes take effect immediately and are cleanly saved back to your configuration file.

✨ Features

• Instant Updates: See your changes take effect immediately. Changing view distance forces the server to instantly update chunk packets for all online players.
• Non-Destructive Saving: When you change a setting in-game, the mod surgically updates the specific line in your server.properties file. Your custom formatting and # comments are perfectly preserved!
• Hot Reloading: Prefer to edit files directly? Make your changes in a text editor, run /hp reload in the console, and the server will instantly sync the new values.
• 100% Server-Side: This mod is only required on the server. Vanilla players can join without needing to install anything on their clients.
