ScarletRCON

ScarletRCON is a flexible and powerful RCON command framework mod for V Rising that enhances server management by providing a rich set of built-in commands beyond the default RCON capabilities. It serves as a standalone RCON command handler that also offers an easy-to-use API for modders to dynamically create and register custom commands, enabling seamless integration across multiple mods

What is RCON?

RCON (Remote Console) is a protocol used by server administrators to remotely execute commands and manage game servers in real time. For V Rising, RCON allows you to control your server, perform administrative actions, and automate tasks without needing direct access to the server’s hardware.

ScarletRCON builds on the standard RCON functionality by offering a more advanced command framework. It simplifies server management, supports custom commands from other mods, and enables powerful automation and integration—all through a unified RCON interface.
