How to change the management server host in Minecraft

Set management-server-host=localhost in server.properties and restart the server. That is the address the management API listens on.

management-server-host

Sets the address the management server listens on.

management-server-host=<host>

Examples

management-server-host=localhost

Local connections only.

Arguments

hostRequired: The value to write after the equals sign.

What it does

The default localhost only accepts connections from the same machine. Change it only if a remote tool needs access, and keep TLS on in that case.

Good to know

Changes take effect after a server restart.
