# How to change the difficulty of a server
## **Introduction**
Greetings! If you're reading this guide, it's because you need to change your server's difficulty. Remember, there are several options, such as:
## **🚀 Option #1**
#### **File Modifications**
Start by going to your server and selecting the Files option. We'll search for this file:
**• server.properties**
## **Text to localize**
Once you have located server.properties you must look for the option called
difficulty=(the difficult)
## **🚀 Option #2**
Enter your server and type the command /difficulty
Now simply enter the difficulty you want. You'll have the option to set it to easy, hard, or peaceful.
An example would be /difficulty normal
## **🚀 Option #3**
#### **Locate your server's console**
Once in the console, type the command difficulty ([Enter the difficulty you want. You'll have the option to set it to easy, hard, or peaceful.)](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]
Thanks for reading the guide!
{% hint style="success" %}
Done! The difficulty should now be changed. Remember to save the file and restart the server.
{% endhint %}
[^1]: Remember that to execute commands from the console it is not necessary to write "/" an example would be `/difficulty`that in Minecraft it would be written like this but in the console it is written`difficulty`
