Apply a Startup change
- Stop the server between sessions. For a save-related change, make a backup first.
- Open Startup → Variables, enter a value accepted by the field and wait for it to save.
- Start the server and check the result in game. If startup stops, read the first Console error before making another change.
| Panel field | Purpose and accepted values |
|---|---|
| Server Name | The name players see when looking for the session. Use a distinctive name so it is easy to distinguish from other servers. Up to 64 characters. |
| Difficulty | Server difficulty setting, Peaceful, Normal or Hard. Accepted values: Peaceful, Normal, Hard. |
| Init Type | Init Type when starting server. New to start fresh or Continue to preload the saved game. Accepted values: New, Continue. |
