Server maintenance

The RCON favorites — see Server management for the full mcrcon setup and backup workflow.

Command Effect
save-all flush world to disk
save-off / save-on pause autosave (do this around backups)
stop graceful shutdown
help / help tp list commands / usage of one

Backup sequence

save-off
save-all flush
# ... copy the world directory (tar/rsync) ...
save-on

save-all flush blocks until everything is written — safer than plain save-all before a copy.

Warning

Never copy the world directory while autosave is on — you can catch region files mid-write and corrupt the backup.
