Minecraft:Servers.dat format

Template:Exclusive Template:Lowercase title The servers.dat is used to store information regarding the Minecraft:multiplayer Minecraft:servers that the player has added to their Minecraft:server list. It does not store the direct connect IP address (see options.txt), nor any Minecraft:LAN server information (as they are automatically detected by the game). It is stored as an uncompressed Minecraft:NBT file. It is possible to add color codes by editing the server name attribute with an NBT editor through the use of Minecraft:formatting codes.

The file is located in the root of the game's directory specified in the Minecraft:launcher profile. By default, this would be Template:Cd.
