How to edit your server.properties

How to Edit Your server.properties

1. Log into your Final Hosting panel
   Head over to your Final Hosting dashboard and select your Minecraft server.

2. Open the File Manager
   Find the “File Manager” or “Files” tab where all your server files are stored.

3. Locate server.properties
   Look for the file named server.properties. If it’s not there, start your server once — it will create the file automatically.

4. Open and edit the file
   Click the file to open it. You’ll see settings like:

    

   max-players=20
gamemode=survival difficulty=easy
level-name=world
motd=A Minecraft Server

5. Make your changes

   • Change max-players to set the max number of players you want.

   • Change gamemode to survival, creative, adventure, or spectator.

   • Set difficulty to peaceful, easy, normal, or hard.

   • Update level-name if you want to use a custom world folder.

   • Change motd to the message you want players to see in the server list.

6. Save your changes
   Hit the save button once you’re done editing.

7. Restart your server
   Go back to your Final Hosting server page and restart the server to apply your changes.

Tips

• Always back up your server.properties before making big changes.

• Avoid setting online-mode=false unless you know what you’re doing (it lets players join without a legit Minecraft account).

• Make sure max-players matches what your hosting plan supports.

• To use a custom world, upload the world folder via File Manager and update level-name accordingly.
