    Somehow i cant modify the server properties file. Every time i do so, it reverts back to default. I tried everything so far and nothing works. Any ideas what the cause of the problem is?

    if you right click on the server.properties file and click properties and ensure that the read only box is clear

    also as a side note make sure that your server is somewhere in C:\Users\username
    if its not you may have permissions issues even if you are administrator
    (this is all assuming you are on windows)

    Do you mean `max-players`? If you show us the contents of server.properties as you'd like it to be, maybe someone could help.

    Are you using a webhost to host your server? If so, can you tell me?
