Common File Locations

Minecraft Servers

├── logs/              # Server logs
├── mods/              # Mod files (.jar)
├── plugins/           # Plugin files (.jar, for servers running Bukkit/Spigot/Paper/etc. servers)
├── config/            # Configuration files

Best Practices

Before Editing

  1. Create backup first
  2. Copy original file as .bak
  3. Test changes gradually

File Organization

  • Keep mods organized in folders
  • Remove unused files regularly
  • Name backups clearly
  • Document custom configurations

Safety

  • Never edit while server is running (configs). This is mainly because sometimes on server shutdown the server will save the configuration it had loaded while it was running, and your changes may be overwritten.
  • Keep backups of working configs. This is important because if you make a mistake, you can restore to the working config.

Troubleshooting

Can’t Edit File

Possible causes:

  • File too large for web editor

Solutions:

  • Use SFTP for large files

Upload Failed

Common issues:

  • File too large (use SFTP)

Changes Not Applied

  • Ensure you clicked Save
  • Restart server to apply
  • Review server logs
