Here are all the major server features set to make their way to the game in the Upcoming Minecraft game drop:
1) Server Code of Conduct

The upcoming The Copper Age game drop in Minecraft is set to introduce a new Code of Conduct feature, allowing server moderators and owners to outline their rules and share regulations seamlessly. The update will add a new Code of Conduct screen, a gameplay mechanic that appears when connecting to a server.
Players must accept this code of conduct to proceed, making the enforcement of world rules and regulations a seamless and mandatory procedure. Additionally, owners can enable a checkbox to prevent the same screen from showing in the future and prevent spamming for old players. The mechanic will also be translated into the player's native language, making its integration hassle-free.

2) Minecraft Server Management Protocol API

The upcoming game drop in Minecraft will also add a new server management API for dedicated servers, which runs on JSON-RPC over WebSocket. This major feature supports the querying and updating of server state, allowing moderators to check statistics and settings such as players, allowlist, operators, settings, and game rules.
Apart from this, the API will also help server owners send notifications on state changes, such as when players join or if the server rules are modified. The API is a major quality-of-life inclusion, allowing moderators to manage and modify server properties with relative ease.
3) Overhaul of select server properties

The upcoming Minecraft game drop will also overhaul many existing server properties, transforming them into game rules. This feature essentially allows server owners to modify these rules on the fly while the server is running, removing the need to pause or shut it down to make certain changes.
The update moves server properties such as allow-nether, spawn-monsters, enable-command-block, pvp, and more. This bypasses the need to pause the server to make modifications, ensuring uptime is increased and players have a seamless gameplay experience.
