Windrose+ RCON Console

The Windrose+ RCON Console lets server administrators send remote commands to a running Windrose server. It provides server status, player management, world information, and diagnostic tools through a web-based interface with autocomplete.

What Is RCON

RCON (Remote Console) is a protocol that allows server administrators to execute commands on a game server remotely. Windrose+ implements RCON through its web dashboard, so no separate RCON client software is needed. All commands are sent over HTTP and processed by the Windrose+ server process running alongside the game server.

Accessing the RCON Console

1. Make sure Windrose+ is enabled on your server (it is enabled by default).
2. Start your Windrose server from the Survival Servers control panel.
3. Open the Windrose+ Dashboard URL shown on your game server page.
4. Enter your RCON password on the login page.
5. The dashboard loads with the RCON console available in the main view.

The RCON password is set in the Modify Server Config modal under the Windrose+ RCON section. If no password is set or the password is still the default, the dashboard will prompt you to set one.

Using Autocomplete

The RCON console supports command autocomplete. Type wp. in the command input field and a list of available commands will appear. Continue typing to filter the suggestions. Press Tab or click a suggestion to complete the command.

All Windrose+ commands begin with the wp. prefix.

Audit Log

All RCON commands executed through the dashboard are recorded in an audit log. The log stores the timestamp, IP address, command, and result status for the last 500 commands. View the audit log from the dashboard or via the /api/rcon/log API endpoint.

Rate Limiting

The RCON API is rate limited to 30 requests per 60 seconds per IP address. If you exceed this limit, the console will display a rate limit message. Wait a moment and try again.
