Getting started

Start, stop and restart the server

What each button does, and why Kill is the last resort.

2 min read

  • Start — boots the server. Watch the console; it tells you when it is ready.
  • Restart — a clean stop followed by a start. Use this after any config change.
  • Stop — asks the game to shut down properly, saving as it goes. Always prefer this.
  • Kill — terminates the process immediately. Nothing is saved. Only use it when Stop has already failed.

Still stuck?
