How To Use RCON On Your Xonotic Server

RCON (remote console) lets you run server commands from inside the game, such as kicking players or changing the map. Your server already has a random RCON password; here's how to set your own and use it.

Setting Your RCON Password

  1. 1
    Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
  2. 2
    In the sidebar, go to Settings.
  3. 3
    Under RCON, edit RCON Password.
  4. 4
    Click Save & Restart to apply your changes.

The password must be at least 8 characters and can only use letters, numbers, dashes and underscores.

Using RCON In Game

  1. 1
    Join your server.
  2. 2
    Press Shift + Esc to open the console.
  3. 3
    Type rcon_password yourpassword with your RCON Password, then press Enter.
  4. 4
    Run commands with rcon in front, for example rcon gotomap stormkeep or rcon kick PlayerName.

Tip

You can also type server commands without rcon in the Console page of Bropanel.
