Changing the save interval affects how often your world and your players and their actions will be saved on the world file. By default, it is set to 300 seconds (5 minutes). This can be changed to lower or higher, according to your preference. This guide will show you how this can be changed easily. Keep in mind that if you set the save interval too low, it can have a bad effect on players in-game. For example, if they lose items due to death, there might not be an available save to roll back the server for the items to still exist.
