Your VEIN server’s name is what players see when browsing or connecting to your server. Giving it a unique and descriptive name helps your community stand out and makes it easier for players to find and join.

For public servers, choose a name that reflects your theme or gameplay style. For private servers, use a clear name so friends can recognize it easily.

How to Change via Game Settings

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

  2. Click Stop to safely shut down your server.

  4. Locate the Server Name field.

  5. Enter your desired server name.

  6. Click Save Changes.

Troubleshooting

If your server's name doesn’t update or display correctly:

  • Server Name Didn’t Change

    • Make sure the new name was saved in the Game Settings tab.

    • Restart your server after saving changes to apply the update.

  • Server Not Showing in List

    • Confirm that your server is online and has started successfully.

    • Check that your internet connection and any firewall settings aren’t blocking the game.

  • Name Too Long or Invalid

    • Try using a shorter name with only standard letters, numbers, or spaces.

    • Avoid using unsupported special characters or symbols.

If issues persist, you can always revert to your previous server's name or contact Nodecraft support for assistance.

Conclusion

Changing your VEIN server’s name is a quick and simple way to personalize your world or brand your community. Whether you’re running a public hub or a private survival group, a clear and memorable name helps players connect and return easily.
