Enshrouded Server Configurator - Because JSON Shouldn't Be Scary!
v2.4.5
What is it?
This powerful tool, designed to be placed directly in your Enshrouded server's JSON directory, offers a user-friendly GUI to modify various server settings. No more squinting at raw JSON; just clear tabs, easy-to-use controls, and a whole lot less stress!
What does it do?
We've listened to the chatter online and built this editor to tackle the common headaches server admins face:
Changelog:
Navigate the tabs, tweak to your heart's content, hit "Save All Settings," and enjoy your customized Enshrouded world!
⚠️ A Friendly Note - This is a community-made tool, designed to help. Always, always keep your own manual backups of important server data before making big changes, just in case! The creator(s) of this tool are not responsible for any server hiccups. Play safe!
We hope this makes your life as an Enshrouded server admin a whole lot easier and more fun! Let us know what you think!
v2.4.5
What is it?
This powerful tool, designed to be placed directly in your Enshrouded server's JSON directory, offers a user-friendly GUI to modify various server settings. No more squinting at raw JSON; just clear tabs, easy-to-use controls, and a whole lot less stress!
What does it do?
We've listened to the chatter online and built this editor to tackle the common headaches server admins face:
- No More JSON Nightmares! Say goodbye to server startup failures due to a misplaced comma or a forgotten quote. Our GUI handles the tricky formatting, so you can focus on crafting your perfect server experience.
- Actually Understand Your Settings! Each setting comes with a clear label and a handy tooltip explaining what it does and its valid options or ranges. We even try to pull the latest defaults and version info from the game's own enshrouded_server_readme.txt
if you have it alongside the tool! - User Group Management Made Easy! Setting up different permission levels for Admins, Friends, and Guests? Our "Server Roles" tab lets you view, edit, add new groups, and delete existing ones without manually fiddling with the complex userGroups array. (And yes, we'll remind you to change those default passwords!)
- Master Your Game's Difficulty (The Smart Way)! Tweak individual game settings to your heart's content! If you change a specific game setting (like player health or enemy damage), the tool cleverly sets your gameSettingsPreset to "Custom" for you. And if you pick a non-Custom preset, we'll gently remind you that those individual tweaks might be overridden by the game.
- Safety First - Automatic Backups Galore! Worried about messing something up? Don't be! The tool automatically creates a timestamped backup of your enshrouded_server.json before any changes are saved. We also make backups before you revert to defaults or restore an older version.
- Oops! Undo Button? Almost! (Granular Restore)Made a change you regret? You can easily browse and restore a specific previous version of your settings from the automatically created backups.
- Time & Numbers Made Simple! Settings like Day/Night duration or Time to Starvation? Edit them in plain old minutes, not confusing nanoseconds! Factors like Player Health or Enemy Damage? Use percentages (e.g., 150% for 1.5x) – we do the math behind the scenes.
- Feeling Adventurous? Randomize It! Want a truly unique (and potentially chaotic) Enshrouded experience? Use the "Randomize Settings on This Tab" button for Player, World, Enemy, Resources, or Experience settings. We'll even give you a heads-up if the dice roll a particularly brutal-looking setup!
- Never Forget to Save! An asterisk (*) in the window title will remind you if you have unsaved changes, and we'll double-check with you before you close the app

- Added a tooltip reminder for password fields in user groups to encourage changing defaults.
- Refined the "Structural Differences" warning message to be more informative and less alarming.
- Python Power: Make sure you have Python 3.x installed (don't worry, you don't need to install any extra fancy libraries – it's all built-in!).
- Download & Place: Grab the script and pop it into your Enshrouded dedicated server's main folder (where enshrouded_server.exe lives).
- The Magic Readme (Highly Recommended!): If you have the enshrouded_server_readme.txt that comes with the server files, put it in the same folder as our script. This helps the tool load the most up-to-date default settings and game version info. If it's not there, the tool will use its own built-in defaults.
- Run It! Open your command prompt or terminal in your server folder and type: python enshrouded_server_config.py (or just double click the script itself).
Navigate the tabs, tweak to your heart's content, hit "Save All Settings," and enjoy your customized Enshrouded world!
