How to Update Vintage Story Server Settings

Last updated: February 10, 2026

This guide shows you how to update your Vintage Story server's settings. Editing your server's configuration lets you customise your server beyond what in-game commands allow. There are two ways to change settings, described below.

Method 1: File Manager (Recommended)

This method gives access to all available settings.

  1. Log in to the NolimitHost Game Panel at https://panel.nolimithost.cc/ and select your Vintage Story server.
  2. Stop the server first so it doesn't overwrite your changes while you edit the file.
  3. In the left sidebar, go to Management > File Manager.
  4. In the Quick Access panel on the right, click serverconfig.json to open the file editor. This is the main configuration file for your server.
  5. Press CTRL+F to search for the setting you want to change.
  6. Edit the value and save the file.
  7. Start the server again for the changes to take effect.

A full list of available settings can be found on the Vintage Story wiki.

Method 2: In-Game / Console Commands

Some settings can be changed live without restarting the server - these commands take effect immediately:

  • /worldconfig - Adjust world configuration settings (e.g. game mode, player health, death punishment). See the Adjust World Settings guide for details.
  • /player - Edit a specific player's data, privileges, and more.
  • /serverconfig - Change server settings such as max clients, PvP, and mob spawning.
