For any server purchased before 30th May 2022, you must re-save your ServerHostSettings.json file using the configuration editor to enable RCon on your server.
The RCON Commands can be run by using:
- Run manually at any time of your choosing with the 'RCON Client' function of the Gamepanel found inside the "Current Activity and Stats" menu
- Our Gamepanel's 'Scheduled Task' system (this method allows you to automate them)
- Using a third party tool such as mcrcon (Created by Tiiffi and available here: mcrcon )
Method 1: Using our Gamepanel's built-in RCON Client
- Click "Current Activity and Stats".
- Then click "RCON Client".
- Type in your RCON password in the password field, and type in the command you want to execute.
- The output will be displayed in the same window.
Method 2: Automating RCON Commands using our Gamepanel's Scheduled Tasks system
- Click "Scheduled Tasks" in your server's Gamepanel home page.
- Click "New".
- Change the "Task Type" to 'Console/RCON Command'
- Click the blue "New" button to create the task.
- Type in your RCON Password into the RCON Password field.
- Type in the command you want to automate in the Command to Execute field.
- Type a name for the task in the name field.
- Change Type to the time period you desire the task to run for E.G Daily
- Type or use the calendar/time buttons to set the date/time the task will run at E.G 11:59 PM
- Save the task in the top left.
- This task will now run automatically on the time/date set with no further interaction required from you!
Method 3: Using an external third-party RCON client
- Download and install a third-party RCON client such as mcrcon
- Connect to your server using the RCON Info on your server's Gamepanel home page.
- Execute any RCON Commands you desire.
RCon Commands:
| Command | Parameter | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| announce | string | Sends a message to all players connected to the server. |
| announcerestart | number | Sends a pre-configured message that announces server restart in x minutes to all players connected to the server. Less flexible than announce but has the benefit of being localized to each users language. |
