Players cannot open chests or build on your Enshrouded server

EnshroudedUpdated Oct 20, 20263 min read

What a player may do depends on the password they joined with. Check the switches under Players who join with the Server Password on Gameplay Settings, save and restart.

Fix it

  1. Open your server in the panel and click the Settings tab.
  2. Under Config files, click Gameplay Settings.
  3. Scroll to Players who join with the Server Password.
The Players who join with the Server Password group with its switches
  1. Switch on what your players need:
The player cannotSwitch on
Open chests, crafting stations or storageCan open chests and stations
Build or remove blocks in a baseCan build in bases
Dig or build outside basesCan change the world
Place flame altars or upgrade a baseCan grow bases
  1. Click Save & restart. The change applies when the server starts, and players must rejoin.

Check which password they used

A player who joined with the Admin password has every permission. If an admin can do it and a friend cannot, the difference is the group. Make sure your friend uses the Server Password, not a password you set up for something else.

Good to know

  • A new server lets these players open chests, build in bases, change the world and grow bases, but not kick and ban.
  • If you changed the switches by hand in enshrouded_server.json, look at the page again. It shows what the file holds.
  • See How to choose what your Enshrouded players can do.
