The File Manager lets you work with configuration files, saves, logs, mods, and other server data. A careful workflow prevents most file-related problems.
Before editing
- Stop the server and wait until it is fully offline.
- Create a backup or download a copy of the file you plan to change.
- Confirm you are editing the correct file for the current game or mod loader.
Make changes safely
- Change one setting at a time so it is easy to reverse.
- Preserve required quotes, commas, brackets, spacing, and capitalization.
- Use the format expected by the file, such as JSON, YAML, INI, XML, or plain text.
- Do not rename, replace, or delete files unless the game or mod documentation specifically requires it.
- Save the file, start the server, and immediately check the console for errors.
If the server stops working, restore the original file or reverse the most recent change. Uploading a file with the wrong name, extension, location, or format will not work even if its contents are correct.
