# How to Enable Peaceful Mode on an Enshrouded Server

Learn how to enable a peaceful-style mode on an Enshrouded server by turning on Pacify Enemies so regular enemies stay passive until attacked.

Enshrouded does not have a difficulty preset literally called Peaceful, but the Pacify Enemies option gives you the same general idea. When it is enabled, regular enemies will not attack players until they are attacked first. Bosses are excluded, so Embervale is not quite turning into a spa day.

## Enable Peaceful Mode

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft dashboard.
2. Locate your Enshrouded server and click **Manage**.
3. Stop the server.
4. Click **Game Settings** in the menu on the left.
5. Select the **Combat** tab.
6. If your server is not already using **Custom** difficulty, click **Change Difficulty to Custom**. Custom difficulty must be enabled before the Combat settings can be changed.

7. Scroll to the **Enemy** section and enable **Pacify Enemies**.

8. Click **Submit** to save the changes.
9. Start the server again.

## What Peaceful Mode Changes

Pacify Enemies does not remove enemies from the world. Instead, regular enemies remain passive until a player attacks them first. Bosses are not affected by this setting, so boss fights will still work normally. This makes the option especially useful for groups that want to focus more on building, exploring, or gathering resources without every nearby creature immediately choosing violence.

## Final Thoughts

Pacify Enemies makes regular encounters more relaxed while leaving boss fights intact. The best Enshrouded server hosting supports the way your group wants to play, and Nodecraft lets you make that adjustment from the dashboard.
