Saves the server to the data storage device. Causes the server to mark all chunks and player data as needing to be saved. They will be saved over time until all are flushed to the data storage device.
Syntax[edit]
save-all [flush]
Arguments[edit]
- flush
- If 'flush' is specified as the sole argument to the command, all the chunks will be saved to the data storage device immediately, freezing the server for a short time.
