š Boost the Slots on Your Minecraft Server! š®
Is your server bursting at the seams with players and you need more space? Donāt worry! Hereās how you can add more slots and make sure no one misses out on the fun.
1ļøā£ Check Your Server Resources š„ļø
Before increasing slots, make sure your server has enough RAM and CPU to handle the extra load. Tip: For every 10ā20 additional players, itās recommended to have at least 1GB of extra RAM.
2ļøā£ Edit the server.properties File āļø
Access your server files and locate the server.propertiesĀ file. Open it and find the line that says max-players. You can increase the number of slots simply by changing this number.


All set! Your server can now host more players. Donāt forget to save the changes and restart your server for them to take effect.
