This page documents the Minecraft server infrastructure and configuration used by Scorpi.
The server runs on Paper, a high-performance fork of Spigot optimized for stability and performance. Paper includes additional configuration options and optimizations not available in vanilla or standard Spigot servers.
| Component | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Server Software | Paper | Performance-optimized Spigot fork |
| Game Version | varies | Updated as needed |
Paper uses several configuration files beyond the standard server.properties:
paper-global.yml - Global server settingspaper-world-defaults.yml - Default world configurationspigot.yml - Spigot-inherited settingsbukkit.yml - Bukkit-inherited settingsThis section documents plugins installed on the server and any required configuration.
AutoBackup provides automated world backups on a scheduled basis.
AutoBackup requires the server to remain active (not paused) to function. By default, Paper servers pause when no players are online, which prevents scheduled tasks from running.
To ensure AutoBackup runs correctly, the server pause feature must be disabled.

Section: misc
misc: pause-when-empty-seconds: -1
| Setting | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
pause-when-empty-seconds | -1 | Disables server pausing entirely |
pause-when-empty-seconds | 0 | Default; pauses immediately when empty |
pause-when-empty-seconds | n | Pauses after n seconds with no players |

Setting this to -1 means the server continues consuming resources even when empty. This is necessary for any plugin that needs to perform scheduled tasks (backups, maintenance, etc.) regardless of player activity.
