Slo: Server Loader
The Slo modification turns Minecraft servers in the saves folder into accessible worlds that can be selected during game creation. With proper configuration, you even get the option to choose the server type when creating a new world!
Main Features
- Access to the server console directly in-game (default key
`) - Automatic detection of server JAVA files and automatic acceptance of the user agreement
- Full integration with Minecraft's game interface
How It Works
When developing a server, it's recommended to run it locally and connect to it on the same machine. Slo fully automates this process: for a server world, the modification launches the server JAVA application, monitors its output, and automatically connects to localhost when the server is ready. If errors occur or the player disconnects, the server process terminates correctly.
Important: Slo operates on the client side and integrates local server processes into Minecraft's interface. However, an internet connection may be required for proper operation, since server software typically downloads Minecraft files on first launch.
Configuration and Setup
The modification supports server presets — templates for server saves that users can choose when creating a world. These presets are loaded from the configuration directory, or can be dragged directly into the selection window. Instructions for creating custom presets are available in the project documentation.
