How to Enable or Disable Vegetarian Mode on Your The Forest Server

Disable daytime enemy spawns on your The Forest server for safer exploration.

Vegetarian Mode prevents enemies from spawning on the surface during the day, giving players safe time to build and explore. Enemies will appear at night and in caves.

If you want to remove surface enemies entirely (day and night), use Vegan Mode instead.

Enabling or Disabling Vegetarian Mode

  1. Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server. Wabbanode control panel with stop button
