Changing Minecraft Difficulty via the OXY.Games Control Panel
Want to make your Minecraft server more challenging, or maybe a bit more relaxing for beginners? You can easily change the difficulty of your server using the OXY.Games control panel. This is done by editing the server.properties file and restarting your server.
There are several ways to change the difficulty:
- Through the File Manager (recommended – permanent)
- Via the Terminal/console (temporary)
- In-game using OP permissions (temporary)
This guide will show the easiest and most permanent method: using the File Manager.
Step 1: Open the File Manager
In the menu on the left, click on Files.
Step 2: Open the server.properties file
Find server.properties in the file list and click it to open.
Step 3: Change the difficulty
Look for the line that starts with difficulty=. You can change it to one of the following:
peaceful– No hostile mobseasy– Mobs do less damagenormal– Standard difficultyhard– More dangerous mobs and survival
Step 4: Save the file
Click Save Content at the bottom to apply the change.
Step 5: Restart the server
The change will only take effect after a server restart. Go to Terminal in the left menu, and click the Restart button in the top right.
Extra: Change difficulty temporarily via console
Want to change the difficulty without restarting? You can use the console (or in-game if you're an OP) to do so:
/difficulty normal
Note: this change is temporary and will be overwritten the next time the server restarts.
