General Warnings

Here is a list of some general warnings that will help you when using your custom server:

Saving changes reboots

Keep in mind that a "Save Changes" button will appear if you change anything on these pages, so hold off until you have made all of your intended changes, or the server will reboot before you are finished customising!

Make sure you set yourself as Owner

In order to have control of your server in-game, you must first assign your GamerTag [XBOX] or PSN ID [PlayStation] to be an Owner in the Boot Commands. (see Configuring your Server)

Avoid bad performance

  • Please keep in mind that spawning excessive amounts of items on the server can lead to server lag, crashes, client instability, and general misery due to console hardware limitations.

  • It is strongly recommended to set a regular wipe schedule!

  • Servers without a scheduled wipe every month (at least) will be prone to instability, client/server crashes, and general misery.

Back up your servers

  • It is strongly recommended to create regular backups of your server! Back up your servers

  • Servers without automatic backups can lead to loss of progress, client instability, and general misery.

  • When booting a server, please wait for 10-15 minutes as the server works silently at some points. This may look like the server is frozen, but it’s not!
