Connection & updatesIn config.json, under Update, the AutoApplyMode setting decides whether staged updates are applied on their own.
The modes
| Mode | What happens |
|---|---|
Disabled (default) | Updates are only applied when you run the command |
WhenEmpty | The update is applied when no players are online |
Scheduled | Players are warned and the update is applied after AutoApplyDelayMinutes (30 by default) |
A good choice for most servers
WhenEmpty: nobody gets kicked and the server catches up with players' game version quickly.
Careful
Edit config.json with the server stopped: the server rewrites its config files while running and would undo your change.
