Minecraft Query Port Guide

This server.properties setting controls query port. Edit it in a stopped server, retain a backup, and restart only after checking that the value is valid for your server build.

Copyable example

These examples come from the source page. A command typed in player chat begins with /; a server console may use a different entry format.

Use it safely

1. Confirm your game edition, release, and the command or server permission level.
2. Replace example targets and coordinates with real values; use a backup world for changes that remove blocks or entities.
3. Run the smallest possible test and check the response or server log.
4. If the command fails, inspect the argument at the error marker and compare syntax with the current official reference.

For server.properties, stop the server before editing the file, keep a copy of the previous line, and restart to apply a saved change.
