Troubleshooting
Settings not applying after save
Ensure you've restarted the server after saving configuration changes. Most settings require a full server restart. Check the server logs for any configuration errors that might prevent the server from starting.
Configuration file validation errors
Verify that your configuration file follows the correct format for your game. Check for syntax errors like missing quotes, incorrect separators, or invalid values. Use the Supercraft configuration panel to validate settings before applying them.
Server won't start after config change
Revert to the previous working configuration using the Supercraft file manager's backup feature. Check server logs for specific error messages. Common issues include invalid port numbers, malformed file paths, or out-of-range numeric values.
