Configuration

Server rules are authoritative NeoForge SERVER options synchronized on login. Stop the server before editing <world>/serverconfig/slimeevolution-server.toml. Use defaultconfigs/ for new-world defaults and back up before changing versions. The Mods configuration screen uses NeoForge's editor; remote-server values are read-only for clients.

Twenty ticks normally equal one loaded second. Unloaded chunks do not advance growth or cooldowns. NeoForge corrects out-of-range values. Generated files include comments and limits; review them when upgrading. World-generation changes affect new terrain only.

Disabling companion features preserves levels, XP, home, preferences, and belongings. Free, disabling cooperation, and item withdrawal remain accessible. Terrain work respects caretaker permissions and mobGriefing. Arena protection persists even when generation is disabled. Rarity filters do not replace datapack spacing and biome rules.

Client visuals

Local config/slimeevolution-client.toml settings do not change server gameplay. NeoForge's screen provides English and Portuguese labels and help.

Key	Default / range	Effect
`reducedMotion`	`false`	Reduces breathing, sway, pulses, and decorative flame, lightning, and steam motion; physical jumps remain visible
`visualParticleIntensity`	`0.75`, range 0–1	Extra action and idle elemental particles; zero disables them

Extra particles respect Minecraft's particle setting and server abilityParticles. Decorative animation is reduced after 24 blocks and stops after 48, without changing genetics, damage, collision, or world lighting.

Geometric flames, electrical arcs, and steam remain visible with minimal particles; their motion follows reducedMotion. The global extra-particle budget is four per five ticks, or two with reduced particles. Actions take priority over idle accents; reduced motion also disables idle accents.
