✨ Features

  • Instant Updates: See your changes take effect immediately. Changing view distance forces the server to instantly update chunk packets for all online players.

  • Hot Reloading: Prefer to edit files directly? Make your changes in a text editor, run /hp reload in the console, and the server will instantly sync the new values.
