How to Increase Slots on Your Minecraft Server 🚶🚶🚶

🚀 Boost Your Minecraft Server Slots! 🎮

Is your server packed with players, and you need more space? Don’t worry! Here’s how you can add more slots and ensure no one misses out on the fun.

1️⃣ Check Your Server’s Resources 🖥️

Before increasing the slots, make sure your server has enough RAM and CPU to handle the additional load. Tip: For every 10-20 additional players, it's recommended to have at least 1GB of extra RAM.

2️⃣ Edit the server.properties File ⚙️

Access your server files and locate the server.properties file. Open the file and find the line that says max-players. You can increase the number of slots by simply changing this number.

Once you’ve made the changes, don’t forget to save the file and restart your server for the changes to take effect.

3️⃣ Consider Upgrading Your Hosting Plan 💼

If you’ve increased the slots but are experiencing lag or disconnections, it might be time to upgrade your hosting plan. At PixelHost, we offer scalable solutions that can be tailored to your needs.

🚨 Common Issues and How to Solve Them 🛠️

❌ Issue: Players can't join after increasing the slots.
