Edit Minecraft Instance

You can view or change your instance information within the Minecraft Game Management Panel interface. From there, you can perform tasks such as viewing your connection settings, Updating Minecraft, starting/stopping an instance, deleting an instance, or changing the port you use for SFTP, among many other things. This lets you modify the server to meet your needs and can help to further secure your instance.

In this guide, we will go over the Instance Management options to edit an existing instance in your Game Management Panel.
