V Rising: Configuring Server Difficulty
In **V Rising 1.0**, the difficulty setting controls enemy health, damage, and even movesets. The introduction of **Brutal** mode adds new mechanics to boss fights, making it a completely different experience.
0 - Relaxed
Enemies deal less damage. Sun damage is reduced. Blood drains slower. Perfect for base-building enthusiasts.
1 - Normal
The standard experience. Bosses have their standard movesets. Recommended for most first-time players.
2 - Brutal
Enemies deal massive damage (+70%). Bosses have New Phases and mechanics. Loot drops are slightly improved.
How to Change Difficulty

- Navigate to your **Supercraft Panel** -> **Game Settings**.
- Find the setting **GameDifficulty**.
- Enter the numeric value:
0= Relaxed1= Normal2= Brutal
- Save and Restart the server.
Manual File Edit
If you are editing the file directly:
- Path:
/save-data/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json - Find:
"GameDifficulty": 1, - Change the number to your desired level.
Warning: You can change difficulty mid-wipe, but be aware that players geared for Normal mode might get instantly annihilated by Brutal mode bosses. It is best to decide on a difficulty at the start of a wipe.
