The Minecraft player limit is controlled by the max-players setting in server.properties. This changes how many players Minecraft allows online at the same time.
Change max players
- Stop your Minecraft server from Console.
- Open File Manager and edit
server.properties. - Find
max-playersand change the value to the player limit you want. - Save the file, then start the server again.
For example:
max-players=20
Setting this higher does not add more RAM or CPU power to the server. If the server starts lagging with more players online, you may need to upgrade the service as well as changing the Minecraft setting.
