# Extras

Some extra steps and recommendations when using lazymc:

Before you use this in production, always ensure starting and stopping the
server works as expected by connecting to it once. Watch `lazymc`s output while
it starts and stops. If stopping results in errors, fix this first to prevent
corrupting world/user data.

Follow this repository with the _Watch_ button on the top right to be notified
