๐Ÿš€ Increase the Slots on Your Minecraft Server! ๐ŸŽฎ

Is your server bursting with players and you need more space? Do not worry! Here we show you how to add more slots and make sure nobody is left out of the fun.

1๏ธโƒฃ Check Your Server Resources ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ

Before increasing the slots, make sure your server has enough RAM and CPU to handle the additional load. Tip: For every 10-20 additional players, it is recommended to have at least 1GB of extra RAM.

2๏ธโƒฃ Edit the server.properties File โš™๏ธ

Access your server files and look for the server.properties file. Open the file and find the line that says max-players. Here you can increase the number of slots simply by changing the number.

Done! Now your server can host more players. Do not forget to save the changes and restart the server for them to take effect.
