See [[#jvm-flags|See also]] for recommended flags for the <code>jvmOpts</code> option.

== Tips and tricks ==

~~=== Use a different server version/package ===~~

To use a specific server version, or another Minecraft server—such as [https://papermc.io/ PaperMC]—change <code>services.minecraft-server.package</code> to a nix package that represents your desired server.

~~For example:~~

~~<code>services.minecraft-server.package = pkgs.minecraftServers.vanilla-1-12;</code>~~

or

~~<code>services.minecraft-server.package = pkgs.papermc;</code>~~

=== Accessing the Minecraft server console ===

The Minecraft server console allows you to view server logs and issue [https://minecraft.wiki/w/Commands commands] to the server interactively. The Minecraft server console is not directly accessible on NixOS—unlike on ~~imperative~~ systems, where running the server through a shell command provides the interactive console to the current terminal ~~session~~.
