  </div>

  <div className="fd-step">
    Restart Your Server [#3-restart-your-server]

    Go to **Console** in the sidebar and restart your server to apply the change.

    > 💡 **Tip:** You can also set this in `server.cfg` with the `sv_maxclients` setting:
    >
    > ```
    > sv_maxclients 32
    > ```

    > 📝 **Note:** Higher player counts require more server resources. FiveM servers with many players and resource-heavy scripts may need a higher-tier plan for optimal performance.
