# How to Disable Mods on Your Minecraft Server

Learn how to disable mods on your Minecraft server! 

Sometimes, Minecraft mods don’t work well together, or sometimes a mod might break with a new version of the game. Maybe you only want a mod active during a special event but inactive otherwise. Whatever the reason, disabling a mod in Minecraft is quick and easy. We’ll show you how!

**Note: Be sure that your Minecraft server is fully stopped before making any configuration changes or setting updates!**

## Using the Control Panel

1. Navigate to your Nodecraft Dashboard.
2. Click the **Panel** button for your Minecraft server.
3. Locate and click **Server Files **in the menu on the left side.
4. Double click on the **mods** folder.
5. Locate the mod you want to disable and **tick the box** to select it.
6. Click the **Rename** button and add **.disabled** to the end of the file name.
7. Click the **Save** button.

## Conclusion

You have now successfully disabled a mod! This will allow you to keep it on the server if you wish to enable it again at a later time but will prevent the server from trying to load it. Good luck with your modding!
