Server Config

The SWEM server config adds world-specific configurable settings for features like needs, tack, skills etc. It can be opened and edited with a simple text editing program like Notepad.

Singleplayer

MultiMC: Instance > Minecraft Folder (Right Sidebar) > Saves > [World Name] > Serverconfig > swem-server.toml
CurseForge: Profile > ... (next to play) > Open Folder > Saves > [World Name] > Serverconfig > swem-server.toml
Forge (Windows): [user]/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/saves/[world name]/serverconfig/swem-server.toml
Forge (Mac): ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft/saves/[world name]/serverconfig/swem-server.toml

Multiplayer (Server)

[server root]/[world name]/serverconfig/swem-server.toml

If the config file is not in the folder, then try running the world again to generate it.
If its still not there, copy/paste the full default config (below) into a .txt file, edit the config values as you wish, name it 'swem-server.toml', and put the .txt file into the folder. The server should read it upon next start-up.

Configs Explained

General
Config: Short for configuration, which means to change something to your preference.
Default: Means the one that is preset. If at any time you need to reset, the default config is always okay to return to.
Lines: Configs are read by the computer in lines, like programming code. The lines staying the way they are is very important.
#: Means everything in that line of the config will not be read by the computer. Changes made here will effect nothing.

Remember the primary rule for configs: Do not change ANY text that is not clearly written as a change like true/false, numbers, and lists. These changeable things will be clearly defined and look like test questions.

Horse Care

	# || Do horses need to eat? (Default = True = Yes)
	needFood = true

This says: Turn on or off the need to eat. Must be True or False. Default is True.
Need for food effects horse ability. If the horse isn't fed often enough, it will not be able to gait up when riding and will lose health.
Turning this off means the horse will no longer be limited by need for food.

	# || Do horses need to drink? (Default = True = Yes)
	needWater = true

This says: Turn on or off the need to drink. Must be True or False. Default is True.
Need for water effects horse ability. If the horse isn't fed often enough, it will not be able to gait up when riding and will lose health.
Turning this off means the horse will no longer be limited by need for water.

	# || Enable Poop ticking on swem horses? (Default = True = Yes)
	poopTick = true

This says: Turns on or off the need to poop. Must be True or False. Default is True.
This effects nothing but horse care. If you don't want the habit of cleaning stalls, turn this to False.

	# || Specify range (radius) that the horses search for food/water. The larger the  radius, the more lag it can cause per horse.
	# || We recommend "15" (30b diameter) for servers.
	#Range: 5 ~ 40
	intakeSearchRadius = 15

This says: How far horses will search for food and water. Must be between 5 and 40 (blocks). Default is 15.
This effects how easily horses find accessible food, and choose the best food (further) over available food (nearer). Having a greater search radius is ideal for pasture horses that may not have water sources nearby, however an increased radius can cause lag.

Servers or players who experience significant lag should keep this value at default or lower to maximize their performance.

	# || Specify in seconds the interval between each poop cycle.
	# || We recommend '1800' (30min) for singleplayer, and '2700' (45min) for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	poopInterval = 1800

This says: How often your horses will poop. It must be more than 1. Default is 1800 (30min).
This is in ticks. 20 ticks = 1 second. The higher the number, the less they poop. This counts time they are loaded (rendered).

	# || Enable Pee ticking on swem horses? (Default = True = Yes)
	peeTick = true

This says: Turns on or off the need to pee. Must be True or False. Default is True.
This effects nothing but horse care. If you don't want the habit of cleaning stalls, turn this to False.

	# || Specify in seconds the interval between each pee cycle.
	# || We recommend '1500' (25min) for singleplayer, and '2700' (45min) for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	peeInterval = 1500

This says: How often your horses will pee. It must be more than 1. Default is 930.
This is in ticks. 20 ticks = 1 second. The higher the number, the less they pee.

	# || Specify how many seconds it takes for the parent to be able to breed again?
	# || We recommend '1800' (30min) for singleplayer, and '28800' (8hr) for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	horseInLoveInSeconds = 1800

This says: How many seconds it takes before horses can breed again? It must be more than 1. Default is 1800.
1800seconds = 30minutes

	# || Specify how many seconds it takes for the foal to growp up?
	# || We recommend '1800' (30min) for singleplayer, and '28800' (8hr) for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	foalAgeInSeconds = 1800

This says: How many seconds it takes for the foal to grow up? It must be more than 1. Default is 1800.
1800seconds = 30minutes

	# || Specify how many seconds it takes for the foal to growp up?
	# || We recommend '1800' (30min) for singleplayer, and '28800' (8hr) for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	foalAgeInSeconds = 1800

Tack Dependencies

	# || Is the Bridle slot required before equipping a Blanket? (Default = True = Yes)
	needBridle = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for the Bridle to equip a Saddle Blanket.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
This feature is only for life-like accuracy. Disabling it does not effect gameplay.

	# || Is the Blanket slot required before equipping a Saddle? (Default = True = Yes)
	needBlanket = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for the Saddle Blanket to be placed first before putting the Saddle on.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
This feature is only for life-like accuracy. Disabling it does not effect gameplay.

	# || Is the Saddle slot required before equipping the Girth Strap,  Breast Collar, and/or Saddlebag? (Default = True = Yes)
	needSaddle = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for the Saddle to be placed first before putting the Girth Strap, Breastcollar or Saddlebag on.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
This feature is only for life-like accuracy. Disabling it does not effect gameplay.

	# || The Rider and Saddle should fall off if there is no Girth Strap equipped. (Default = True = Yes)
	needGirthStrap = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for the Girth Strap to keep the Saddle on.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
This feature is only for life-like accuracy. Disabling it does not effect gameplay.

	# || Are all Tack slots required before equipping Horse Armor? (Default = True = Yes)
	needAll = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for Horse Armor to require a full (Adventure) Tack Set - all 6 pieces.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
This feature is only for life-like accuracy. Disabling it does not effect gameplay.

	# || The Bridle is needed to steer the horse. (If disabled, you would still need a saddle). (Default = True = Yes)
	needBridleToSteer = true

This says: This turns on or off the need for the Bridle to steer the horse.
Must be True or False. Default is True.
Disabling this does effect gameplay. If this is False, you will only need a Saddle to command the horse while riding.

Horse Experience Levels

	# || Amount of XP required to max a horse's Speed stat.
	# || We recommend '13500' for singleplayer, and '100000' for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	maxSpeedXP = 13500
	# || Amount of XP required to max a horse's Jump stat.
	# || We recommend '13500' for singleplayer, and '100000' for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	maxJumpXP = 13500
	# || Amount of XP required to max a horse's Health  stat.
	# || We recommend '13500' for singleplayer, and '100000' for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	maxHealthXP = 13500
	# || Amount of XP required to max a horse's Affinity stat.
	# || We recommend '17000' for singleplayer, and '50000' for multiplayer.
	#Range: > 1
	maxAffinityXP = 17000

This says: How much experience points are required to fully level a skill. Must be greater than 1. Default is 13500 for Speed, Jump and Health, or 17000 for Affinity.
Decrease these values if you would like to spend less time training horses, or increase one/specific/all to spend longer.

For multiplayer servers it is highly recommended to increase skills accordingly if the server values commitment to training a horse and/or aims to encourage server competitions being higher prestige the higher a horse's level is.

Currently the health skill can only be maxed with XP potions - this feature will be implemented in future.

Server Admin Settings

Settings specifically aimed at Multiplayer servers to help manage or promote survival economies, horse acquisition and population.

	# || Enable Coat Cycling (via lapis lazuli and redstone)?
	# || Do not enable if the server is multiplayer and has an economy.
	allowCoatCycling = true

This says: Turns on or off the ability to Lapis/Redstone flip through coats. Must be True or False. Default is True.
When disabled, new coats can only be acquired via converting vanilla ponies (if permitted), breeding horses selectively or summon commands.

Servers that aim to encourage an economy for horse breeding and sales should disable (set to false) coat cycling.

	# || Can Secret Coats be obtained via Secret Items? (Default = True = Yes)
	# || Do not enable if the server is multiplayer and has an economy.
	allowSecretCoats = true

This says: Turns on or off the ability to make secret coats using their special items. Must be True or False. Default is True.
When disabled, secret coats can only be acquired with summon commands and normal conversion items will not work.

Servers that intend to restrict all secret coats or for special rewards should disable (set to false) secret coat converting.

	# || Enable Breeding Tokens? This limits breeding of horses and ponies to Tokens while preventing feed from escalating foal growth time.
	# || Enable if the server is multiplayer and has an economy.
	tokensBreeding = false

This says: Turns on or off the ability to breed and create SWEM horses normally. Must be True or False. Default is false.
When enabled, SWEM horses can only be bred with breeding tokens or spawned by summon commands. Cantazarite potions will NOT work on vanilla ponies.

Servers that aim for all horses to come via sales or rescue (without having to turn off mob spawning to prevent vanilla horses) or limit who can breed horses should enable (set to true) breeding tokens. See also: Recipe control config for breeding token crafting restrictions HERE.

If you notice errors in your world or changes you don't like but don't know how to undo the changes to config you made, shut down the server and replace the config with this default one and the config will be reset.

Troubleshooting

"I cannot see the options shown here!"

Check all of the following:

You are using Minecraft 1.18.2 - these values no longer represent older versions!
You are using the latest release for 1.18.2 - these values represent configs for the very latest release!

If you have confirmed the above and still do not have the options listed here you will need to reload your config file.

Close your world if you are currently in it
Go to your server config file for that specific world - how to get there is shown at the top of this page
Open the file and make note of any values you have set if you have adjusted it before (if not, there is no need)
Delete the swem-server.toml file
Load into your Minecraft world to regenerate the config
The newly generated config file should be a fresh default config
Adjust and settings you need, save the file and reload into your world again to apply the changes!
