Stardew Valley
Most of your Stardew Valley server's settings live on the Game Settings tab of your MintServers panel. Some only take effect when a brand-new farm is being created; others apply to your farm at any time. Installed mods can add their own settings too, in separate config files.
Game Settings Tab
Settings That Only Apply to a Brand-New Farm
These fields only matter the moment a new farm is generated. If you're loading or importing an existing save, changing them here won't do anything, since that farm has already been created.
- Host Name - name of the automated host farmer.
- Farm Type - the map used: standard, riverland, forest, hilltop, wilderness, fourcorners, beach, or meadowlands.
- Starting Cabins - how many cabins the farm starts with (0–3). Every player needs one; more can always be built at Robin's later.
- Profit Margin - sell price percentage: 100 (normal), 75, 50, or 25 (hardest).
- Separate Wallets - on gives every player their own money instead of a shared purse.
- Pet Type, Pet Breed, Pet Name - the farm's starting pet (cat or dog).
- Monsters on Farm at Night - auto (Wilderness farm only), or force true/false.
- Remixed Bundles and Remixed Mine Rewards - randomizes Community Center bundles and mine chest drops.
- Guarantee Year 1 Completable - ensures the Community Center can be finished within the first year.
- Random Seed - sets a specific numeric world seed. Leave empty for a random one.
Settings You Can Change Anytime
These apply to your farm whenever they're changed, whether it was created here or imported.
- Farm Name - controls which save loads. An existing save with this name is loaded; otherwise a new farm is created the next time the server starts. See our Upload an Existing Save guide if you're importing one.
- Max Players - how many farmhands can connect at once. See our Players guide for more on this.
- Auto Sleep Time - the in-game time the automated host goes to bed and ends the day (
2200= 10 PM, max2600). See our Saving the Game guide for why this matters. - Festivals - has the host attend festivals so players can take part.
- Players Can Pause - lets players pause the game with the
!pausechat command. - Lock Player Chests - restricts chests so only their owner can open them.
Mod Configuration Files
Beyond the Game Settings tab, many installed mods keep their own settings in a config file inside their own folder. Some of these files don't appear until the server has been started at least once, since that's when the mod generates its defaults.
📁 server (your main server directory)
📁 Mods
📁 «mod-name»
Open the relevant config file from the Files tab, edit it directly, and restart your server for the change to take effect. Our Saving the Game guide covers a good example - the FarmCreator mod's StopEndsDay setting.
Not sure what a particular mod's config option does? No worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will be happy to walk you through it.
