How to change your server settings.

Your group’s preferred difficulty and play style belong in the server settings. Here is how to update supported controls on an existing Multiverse server. Available settings depend on the game.

1. Stop the server

Let players know you are changing settings, then stop the server from the dashboard. Wait for its status to show stopped. Game configuration controls are disabled while the server is running or its settings are loading.

2. Open Game configuration

Open your server’s Settings and select Game configuration. You can change difficulty, default game mode, PvP, whitelist enforcement, description, maximum players, view distance, simulation distance, and spawn protection. Each numeric control shows its allowed range; the current player limit is four.

3. Save, then start

Save your changes while the server is stopped, then start it. The new settings apply before the game starts. Check the last confirmed applied revision in the dashboard if you need to verify which configuration is active.

What changes, and what stays with the world?

Changing the default game mode does not change existing players’ saved game modes. Enabling the whitelist preserves the existing player list; the checkbox does not add players to it. Configuration history is separate from world backups: keep a world backup before making changes to your world.

Return to an earlier configuration

The editor offers the ten most recent saved revisions. Choosing an older revision loads it as a draft. Review and save that draft to create a new revision, then start the server to apply it.
