Save Commands
Beginner question, but could someone describe how server saving works and what the 3 save related commands do?
Based on what I've read, servers will always save when you run
/stop
, but you can manually save them with /save-all flush
. Then /save-all
is a bit confusing, as it seems to save the server eventually, but not instantly? Is there a better description of this somewhere?
Then there's /save-off
and /save-on
, which don't have much written in the wiki. Is /save-on
turned on my default? And if so, how often is this done? Do these commands persist after a server restart, or are these just temporary things to be used when making server backups? And if /save-off
was used, I'm assuming the server still saves if you then run /stop
, right?1 Reply
autosave is on by default, which will save the server on shutdown and every 5 minutes. In most cases, it will also save when the server crashes, but sometimes it can't
