1. Firstly, access the Game Panel (click this link for easy access) and navigate to your Minecraft server.
Make sure the server is not running, by pressing the "Stop" button.

3. There, you will click on either "Config Editor" or "Text Editor"

The Config Editor provides an easy way to edit the configuration with a GUI,
the Text Editor is plain text, less user friendly.

GUI Example:

Once there, there are several options you can modify to your liking.


Make sure to read the explanation of what each of them do by hovering over the text field next to each option:

b. Text Editor ( Plain text file editor )

For the text editor method, the parameter to edit is:

Once there, you'll find an extensive list of options that you can modify.

To modify an option, simply edit the text next to the equal sign (=) of the option you want to modify.
 
This is the text you want to modify.
