Basic Minecraft Server Configuration Guide

First, log in to the Game Panel and navigate to your Minecraft server.
Ensure the server is stopped by clicking the "Stop" button before proceeding.
2. Open Configuration Files
On the left-hand menu, click on "Configuration Files".
3. Choose Your Editing Method
You can choose between two options:
Config Editor (Recommended – Graphical Interface)
Text Editor (Plain Text – For advanced users)
a. Config Editor (Graphical Method)
This is the recommended method for editing your server settings through a user-friendly interface.
Example:
Once inside, you’ll see several configurable options.
You can hover over the info icon next to each setting for a detailed explanation of what it does.
