How to Change Player Slots on Your Minecraft Server

Adjusting the number of player slots on your Minecraft server is essential for controlling how many players can join your server simultaneously. This guide details how to change player slots using the game panel.

Accessing Your Server Settings

• Log in to your game panel dashboard and select the Minecraft server you wish to configure.

Changing Player Slots

• After selecting your server, navigate to the server configuration or settings section.

• Look for the 'Max Players' or 'Player Slots' setting. This is typically found in the server's main settings or directly in the server.properties file.

• If editing through the server.properties file, find the line that says max-players and change the number to your desired player slots.

• Save your changes and restart the server for the new player slot settings to take effect.

Considerations When Changing Player Slots

• Consider your server's resources before increasing player slots, as more players can lead to increased server load.

• Adjust player slots according to your community size and server performance to ensure a smooth gaming experience for all players.

Conclusion

Adjusting the number of player slots on your Minecraft server helps balance the server's performance with your community's needs. By following these steps in the game panel, you can easily control how many players can join your server at any given time.
