Alright, pals, let’s talk about managing your Palworld server from the outside. I recently set up my own Palworld server and wanted a way to keep tabs on things without always being in the game. That’s where RCON comes in, and trust me, it’s a game-changer.
First off, I had to enable RCON in my server’s config file. It wasn’t too tricky, just a simple tweak, and I made sure to set an AdminPassword too. This is super important, guys, don’t skip this part, or you won’t be able to execute any commands.
Getting Started with RCON
Once that was sorted, I started looking into how to actually use these RCON commands. I found out there are a few different ways to do it. I opted to go through my game panel because it had a built-in RCON client, which seemed pretty straightforward.
- Enable RCON: Tweaked the config file and set an admin password.
- Find an RCON Client: Checked my game panel and found a built-in client.
- Connect to the Server: Followed the panel instructions to connect to my Palworld server.
Executing Commands
With the connection established, I experimented with a few commands. I typed them into the RCON client, and boom, I could see the server info right there. It felt awesome to have that kind of control. I could kick or ban players if needed, which, thankfully, I haven’t had to do yet. But it’s good to know I can. You can also teleport and get a list of who’s playing, which is pretty neat.
Choosing an RCON Tool
Now, if your game panel doesn’t have a built-in client, don’t sweat it. I heard about this tool called McRcon, and apparently, it’s pretty good for Palworld since the game’s RCON is kind of basic. I haven’t tried it myself, but it’s worth checking out if you need a standalone tool.
So, there you have it. That’s my experience getting RCON up and running for my Palworld server. It’s been a smooth ride, and honestly, it makes managing the server so much easier. If you’re hosting your own Palworld server, I definitely recommend giving RCON a shot. It’s not as complicated as it might sound, and it gives you a ton of control. Happy gaming, everyone!
