Let's use simple examples to make it easy to understand. In the following steps, we will use two of the best-known modpacks today, Pixelmon Reforged and Pixelmon Generations. --- # 📁 How to Edit Mod Configuration Files via the Multicraft Panel 📁 Let's say that you're looking to change the Pixelmon Reforged legendary Pokémon's spawn chance through the Multicraft panel. To do that, you will have to: 1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server. ![Stop Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/fa64fa2e89dd6000/a11d2c3d-c26e-4a54-b07d-7625c3_1sfmvs9.png) --- 2. Click on `Files`, then on `Config Files`. ![Config Files](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/b0693a4c048b8000/353450fa-279b-4528-8b90-a523e2_axrdl8.png) --- 3. Click on `Mod Configs`. || ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: Some mods will generate a folder where the config files will be put. Here you will see all folders containing config files for mods and all other standalone config files for mods. ![Mod Configs](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6b1f72a03848dc00/c099c0ed-8a06-4cd3-a0cc-e7ec89_1qubo4l.png) --- 4. We're looking to edit Pixelmon options, so click on the `pixelmon` folder. ![Pixelmon Folder](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/2148e44f3e2b3000/9f6d7b88-1ec1-438f-9e34-5bd994_63s4tg.png) --- 5. Choose the mod file or folder you want to edit and click on it. In this example, we want to edit Pixelmon's spawn rates, so we must open the `spawning.yml` file. || ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: You can see the actual path of each file or folder listed. ![spawning.yml](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/6a4351d711ad4400/c0724e6c-b8ec-400a-908a-1f66c0_63n94y.png) --- 6. As we are looking to edit the spawn rate, we must find the `legendary-spawn-chance:` option and edit it with our desired value, then click on `Save`. ![Edit and Save](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/3_1fk7uu8.png) Once discovered, we must edit exactly as in the default configuration! * **What exactly does this mean?** Since it is a configuration file, we must follow the "format rules" so that nothing unwanted happens the moment the server starts up. ||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-properly-edit-a-server-config-file-depending-on-its-type-gcnl58/) is our guide explaining how to properly edit a configuration file depending on its type. Let's look at an example below: As we wanted to edit the `legendary-spawn-chance:` to `0.6`, we should use the following edit: ``` If the default file uses: legendary-spawn-chance: 0.30000001192092896 When editing, we must use: legendary-spawn-chance: 0.6 Examples of common errors: ❌ legendary-spawn-chance: 0.6, ❌ legendary-spawn-chance: ;0.6 ❌ legendary-spawn-chance:0.6 ❌   legendary-spawn-chance:0.6 ✅ legendary-spawn-chance: 0.6 ``` No matter how small the error is, even if a space or character is added or removed by mistake, it might cause your server to crash! --- 7. Go back to your server control panel (Multicraft) and start your server. ![Start Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/5_449wta.png) In a few words, changing your server settings is easy and simple! Just be careful when editing the files correctly! Whenever you need help, you can always find out more about a mod's settings on the same page where you can download it. --- # 📝 How to Edit Mod Configuration Files Manually 📝 Let's say that you're looking to change Pixelmon Generations spawn rates manually. To do that, you will have to: 1. Log in to your Multicraft panel [here](https://mc.ggservers.com/site/login) and stop your server. ![Stop Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/1_1ursht6.png) --- 2. Click on `Files` and then on `FTP File Access`. It's where you'll find all of your server's files. ||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-access-your-minecraft-server-files-via-ftp-18ealdp/) you can find our guide providing more information about connecting through FTP to your Minecraft server. ![FTP Files Access](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/3_k4a296.png) --- 3. Use your Multicraft credentials to log in. ![FTP Login](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/2_15nfwnq.png) --- 4. Open your `config` folder by clicking it. || ⚠ **NOTE** ⚠: Keep in mind that for Forge versions higher than 1.13, configuration files for specific mods may be located in the folder called `serverconfig` in your world folder. For example, the Simple Voice Chat mod will generate its config file there. ![config](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/pixelmonconfig_1nsqtb0.png) --- 5. Choose the mod file you want to edit, right-click it, and then click on `Edit`. In this example, we're looking to edit Pixelmon's configuration file, so we must edit the `pixelmon.hocon` file. || ⚠ NOTE ⚠: This must vary depending on which mod file you're looking to edit. Some mods will generate a folder in the `config` directory where the config files will be put. ![Edit](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/pixelmonconfig2_1c0ebv3.png) --- 6. As we are looking to edit the spawn rate, we must find the `spawnRate` option and edit it with our desired value, then click on `Save`. ![Spawn Rate](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/spawnrate_xz9g7z.png) Once discovered, we must edit exactly as in the default configuration! * **What exactly does this mean?** Since it is a configuration file, we must follow the "format rules" so that nothing unwanted happens the moment the server starts up. ||| [Here](https://help.ggservers.com/en-us/article/how-to-properly-edit-a-server-config-file-depending-on-its-type-gcnl58/) is our guide explaining how to properly edit a configuration file depending on its type. Let's look at an example below: As we wanted to edit `SpawnRate` to `2`, we should use the following edit: ``` If the default file uses:    spawnRate=1 When editing, we must use:    spawnRate=2 Examples of common errors: ❌    spawnRate= 2, ❌    spawnRate= ;2 ❌    spawnRate= 02: ❌  spawnRate=2 ✅    spawnRate=2 ``` No matter how small the error is, even if a space or character is added or removed by mistake, it might cause your server to crash! --- 7. Go back to your server control panel (Multicraft) and start your server. ![Start Your Server](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/ba33bb39ceb6d800/5_449wta.png) In a few words, changing your server settings is easy and simple!
