Vintage RCON implements a Source RCON server to the Vintage Story server. RCON can be a useful tool in server management and is already common in Source engine games (for obvious reasons) and rather common for Minecraft servers.

If, like me, you believe terminal muxers are a jank solution, you can simply setup your VS server as a background service. This mod will allow you to interact with it and manage your server despite not having access to the console.

Commands can be sent using most RCON clients and are injected into the console just like interacting directly with the console (except you don't have to prefix with a slash).

Necessary documentation available on GitHub. For details about the protocol, see Valve's Source RCON wiki page.

Please use the issue tracker to report problems, request related features or improvements to documentation.

Exposing the RCON port to the internet or unsafe network is not recommended!

I am not a cybersecurity or software security expert. I cannot guarantee this software is safe to use in a network with untrusted peers.

The Source RCON protocol is also not encrypted by specification ! I would advise the use of a VPN (not NordVPN, etc) to use this for remote access and administration.

I developed Vintage RCON mainly for administration of one or multiple servers without direct access to the console of the servers on the same host machine.

Take necessary precautions regarding the security risks this may be to your server. Every command is run with the equivalent priviledges to the server console.
