Summary
Turning off exploit fixes on a Minecraft Paper server means tweaking settings that are not officially supported or managed by the PaperMC development crew. While PaperMC brings tons of tweaks to amp up Minecraft server performance, exploit fixes often tackle tricky stuff like stopping unbreakable blocks from breaking, putting the brakes on TNT duplication, and taming the wild world of overstacking. Playing around with these settings might stir up some trouble, like glitches, shaky performance, or clashes in the server.
Note | The settings are only in Minecraft Paper version 1.16 and above. |
