How to Connect to Your Server Using RCON

This page explains how to connect to your server using the RCON protocol to execute ScarletRCON commands.

Requirements

• Any RCON-compatible client (e.g., rcon-cli, mcrcon, or others)
• Your server's IP address and RCON port
• Your RCON password configured in the server

Make sure the RCON port is open and not blocked by any firewall.

Enabling RCON on Your Server

To enable RCON, edit the file:

<V Rising Server Directory>/VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json

Locate (or add) the Rcon section:

"Rcon": {
  "Enabled": true,
  "Port": 25575,
  "Password": "test"
}

Save and restart your server to apply the changes.

Using an RCON Client

You can use any RCON-compatible client to connect and send commands to your server.

For the best experience with ScarletRCON, I recommend using the Scarlet RCON Client - a dedicated client with enhanced features.

Troubleshooting

• Restart the server after enabling RCON
