Safe Start & Hardening Starter Pack
Bring a Minecraft server up safely and lock down the obvious stuff.
Bring a Minecraft server up safely and lock down the obvious stuff.
A small, no-nonsense pack: a hardened
server.properties baseline and a start script with Aikar's GC flags, plus a short security checklist. Plain Paper/Spigot — no plugins required. Free.What's inside
- server.properties — a hardened baseline with a comment on every security-relevant setting (auth on, RCON/Query off, command blocks off, op level capped, proxy spoofing blocked, sane limits). Copy what you need.
- start.sh — a start script with Aikar's tuned GC flags. Set the jar name and memory, make it executable, run it.
- README — how to use it, plus a short checklist of the settings that matter most.
Who it's for
Anyone spinning up a server who wants safe defaults without reading ten guides. It won't replace a real anticheat or a login plugin, but it covers the defaults people forget: auth, RCON, op level, proxy spoofing.
Notes
- No plugins required (vanilla Paper/Spigot).
- Minecraft rewrites server.properties on start — change values, don't overwrite blind.
- Keep online-mode=true unless you run cracked (and then add a login plugin like AuthMe).
