VEIN servers can be set as public or private by adding a password. A password restricts access to trusted players only, preventing unwanted users from joining and disrupting gameplay. This is the simplest and most effective way to secure your server.

For servers that remain public, consider assigning a Server Admin to help moderate and maintain order.

How to Add a Password via Game Settings

  1. Locate your Nodecraft dashboard and open your VEIN server panel.

  2. Click Stop to safely shut down your server.

Note: Always stop your server before making configuration changes. This ensures all settings are properly saved and applied.

3. Navigate to the Game Settings tab.
4. Locate the Server Password field.
5. Enter your desired password.
6. Click Save Changes.
7. Restart your server by clicking Start.

Once your server is running again, players will be required to enter the password before joining.

How to add a password in the Server Files (Manually)

  1. Locate your Nodecraft dashboard and open your VEIN server panel.

  2. Click Stop to safely shut down your server.

Note: Always stop your server before editing configuration files. This ensures your changes are properly saved and applied.

3. Navigate to the Server Files tab.

Troubleshooting Tips

If players are unable to join after setting a password:

  • Password Not Working

    Ensure the password was saved correctly in the Nodecraft panel.

    Restart the server after any password change.

  • Forgotten Password

    Reopen your server settings and update the password to a new one.

  • Server Still Public

    Double-check that the password field isn’t empty.

    Confirm the server restarted properly after applying changes.

Conclusion

Adding a password is an easy and reliable way to secure your VEIN server. Whether you want a private session with friends or a controlled public server, setting a password ensures your community remains safe and enjoyable.
