Important Files
Common files you might need to edit:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
server.properties | Main server configuration |
config.yml | Plugin/mod configurations |
whitelist.json | Allowed players list |

Always create a backup before editing important configuration files. Incorrect settings can prevent your server from starting.
Best Practices
