Saves the server to the data storage device.

Syntax

save-all

Normal mode. Saves player data immediately. Marks all chunks as needing to be saved. They get saved over time to the data storage device.
This includes when auto-saving has been disabled using the "save-off" command. (see below)

save-all flush

All the players and chunks are saved to the data storage device immediately, freezing the server for a short time.
