Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ❓

What happens if players are already on the server?

If players are already on the server when you change the default game mode, they will remain in their current game mode until they die or you manually change it using the /gamemode command.


Can I set the default game mode to something else?Absolutely! Just replace creative with survival or adventure in the server.properties file.


What should I do if the server doesn’t start after making changes?

Make sure the server.properties file doesn’t contain any syntax errors. If the problem persists, contact our Technical Support, and we’ll help you resolve the issue. 🛠️
