How to change your server difficulty

Step 1

Access your Game Panel and navigate to your Minecraft Java server. Once there, go to the Files section in the left sidebar to access the File Manager.

Step 2

In the File Manager, locate and click on the server.properties file to open it. This file contains all the main configuration settings for your Minecraft server.

Step 3

Inside the server.properties file, look for the line that says difficulty=. The difficulty can be set to one of the following values:

• peaceful (0) - No hostile mobs spawn
• easy (1) - Hostile mobs spawn with less damage
• normal (2) - Default difficulty level
• hard (3) - Hostile mobs spawn with more damage and additional effects

Change the value after difficulty= to your desired setting. For example:

difficulty=hard

Step 4

After making the change, click the Save Content button at the top right of the file editor to save your modifications.

Step 5

Restart your server for the changes to take effect. You can do this from the Console tab by clicking the Restart button, or by stopping and starting the server.
