Minecraft Console Client

Configuration

Minecraft Console Client can be both configured by the command line parameters and the configuration file.

By the default all of the configurations are stored in the configuration file named MinecraftClient.ini which is created the first time you run the program, but you also can specify your own configuration file by providing a path to it as a first parameter when starting the MCC, check out Usage for examples.

Warning

Recently we have changed the configuration format from INI to TOML, the documentation had to be updated. If you spot a mistake, please report it on our Discord or in the repository as an issue.

Notes

  • Some settings will be omitted from the documentation due to them being not used often, we do not want documentation to be cluttered, we advise you to manually read through the configuration file, where every setting has a description next to it.
  • Some plugin/bot related settings will be covered in the plugins section, not here

Configuration File

Format

The configuration file uses the TOML formatopen in new window, all of the options are key-value pairs separated into sections.

Sections are defined in-between the square brackets (Example: [This is a section]), each occurrence of this marks a beginning of a new section.

The settings/options are defined as key-value pairs, where the name of the setting and the value are separated by the equals sign = (Example: some-setting=some value).

Lines starting with # are comments, they do not have an effect on the configuration of the program, their purpose is purely a descriptive one.

To get familiar with all the data types and styles of settings please read the official TOML documenationopen in new window.

Full Example:

[SectionNameHere]
Setting_Name = "this is some name"
Setting_Something = 15
