Tweak Tip:

For large servers consisting of 15 consecutive players or more, it is advisable to create a world border and optionally fill inside the border of pre-generated chunks. (See plugin link at bottom)

This prevents players from exploring too far, forcing new chunks to generate and cause a momentary lag. However, the downside of pre-generating worlds is the large amount of disk space consumption it can take. While STIPE has no limits on disk space, we advise not to grow your minecraft world too big as it makes it difficult to make backups for yourself and via our own backup systems.

Ideally, we recommend not to let your world grow more than 1GB per every 15 players online at the same time.

Here is an example of how large the storage size of your world becomes when you pre-generate.

l   w      
5000x5000    =1.6    GB  (recommended max size or less)
10000x10000    =6.4    GB
15000x15000    =14    GB (not recommended beyond this point)
20000x20000    =25    GB
25000x25000    =38    GB
30000x30000    =55    GB
35000x35000    =75    GB
40000x40000    =99    GB
45000x45000    =125   GB
50000x50000    =154   GB
55000x55000    =186   GB
60000x60000    =221   GB

If you are using JAVA+BEDROCK Combo (GeyserMC), you can still use the existing Minecraft whitelist system to prevent unwanted players to your server. However, as Java edition and Bedrock edition have separate player name database, they can often conflict with same player names. As such, every bedrock player will have a dot starting with the name. Eg .steve instead of steve

Example Commands to type in CONSOLE section of the control panel:

To add player to whitelist for JAVA players:
whitelist add playername

To add player to whitelist for BEDROCK (GeyserMC) players:
whitelist add .playername   (Note the dot in front of the name)

Example: If the player is joining from a Bedrock edition, and his player name is: steve
Command would be:
whitelist add .steve

Don't forget to turn on Whitelist for your server for the server to start restricting all players but the ones listed in the whitelist

I hope this year treats us better and let's make it 6 years with stipe

Hello I was wondering if I rent a server for me and my mates to play on (we are on ps5) will I be able to add mods to the server? Or will they not work because we are on console?

The commitment to the customer experience is why I've stuck with stipe for over 5 years! Many years and updates still to come
