# How to Change the Game Mode on Your Aska Server (/docs/aska/game-mode)



import { Step, Steps } from 'fumadocs-ui/components/steps';

Aska has two server modes:

Normal Mode [#normal-mode]

Default gameplay — standard settings, no customization of world parameters.

```
mode = normal
```

Custom Mode [#custom-mode]

Unlocks all advanced settings — invasion difficulty, monster density, day/night length, terrain, populations, and more.

```
mode = custom
```

Once set to `custom`, you can configure all the advanced settings listed in the [Server Configuration](/docs/aska/server-settings) guide.

> 📝 **Note:** There is no Creative mode or console commands in Aska. Custom mode is the closest to sandbox-style configuration.
