If you still have a problem, upload it here: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%21AJmc4l1tLBtTYkY&id=DD769A432825265%21354033&cid=0DD769A432825265 and let us know at support@supercraft.host, so we can take a look and resolve it.

You can change game files that are not contained in the “data” directory (core game distribution content).

Settings of server-settings.xml and server-admin.xml are managed using “Configure” panel (as UI fields) . Also, if you have a need to change some particular file (e.g. set property’s value) please contact us: support@supercraft.host / Discord.
How this works
See: https://7d2d.net/how-it-works

CPU
We always provide enough CPU power to run the plan and mods that are supported on the plan. However, if you install your own mods that are CPU hungry or set server settings far beyond defaults causing heavy CPU consumption you might be throttled if there is no free computing power – in that case, lower plans will be throttled first.
Cancel
In order to cancel your subscription (and hence recurring billing), log to the panel, find your server and click “Cancel” button.
Plans

You can add admins in the “Configuration” section. Changes require a
restart to apply. You can also use console in the management section –
this doesn’t require restart, but is persisted. Command to add an
