How do I install mods on my V Rising server?

Open GamePanelMods, search for the mod and add it: BepInEx and the required mods are installed with it. Then restart the server to load them.

  1. GamePanelMods: search for the mod by name (KindredCommands, Bloodcraft, KindredLogistics…) and add it. Only mods made for the server and compatible with the current game version are offered.

  2. Restart the server. The first start with BepInEx takes a few more minutes: the console shows "Loading [mod name]" for each mod loaded.

  3. Mods marked "Players need it too" must also be installed by each player: the Mods window gives an r2modman profile code that installs the same mods for them.

Common errors

  • After a game update, a mod not yet updated by its author can stop the server from starting. Set "Load mods" (BEPINEX) to 0 to restart the server without mods until the mod is fixed.
  • A mod's settings are in BepInEx/config, to be edited while the server is stopped.
How do I become an admin of my V Rising server?

Add your SteamID64 to the "Admins (SteamID64)" setting in GamePanelServer Options, restart, then type adminauth in the game console.

  1. GamePanelServer Options: "Admins (SteamID64)" (ADMIN_STEAM_IDS), one or more 17-digit SteamID64 separated by commas.

  2. Restart the server: the list is written to save-data/Settings/adminlist.txt.

  3. In game, enable the console in the options, open it with the key under Escape (~ on a QWERTY keyboard) and type adminauth. You can then use kick and banuser followed by the player's name, banned to list banned players and unban to lift a ban.

Common errors

  • Empty setting: the adminlist.txt file is left untouched, so you can also fill it in by hand.
  • Your SteamID64 is on your Steam profile page (link like steamcommunity.com/profiles/7656…).
How do I choose the game mode (PvP, PvE, duo) of my V Rising server?

The "Game preset" setting (VR_PRESET) loads a ready-made official mode; left empty, the server follows save-data/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json, which you tune yourself.

  1. GamePanelServer Options: "Game preset", for example StandardPvE, StandardPvP, DuoPvP, SoloPvP, HardcorePvP, StandardPvP_NoSiege (no castle sieges) or Level50PvE (start at level 50).

  2. "Difficulty" (VR_DIFFICULTY_PRESET): Difficulty_Easy, Difficulty_Normal or Difficulty_Brutal.

  3. Restart the server to apply.

Common errors

  • With a preset, your changes in ServerGameSettings.json do not apply: empty the preset to tune the game by hand.
  • The full list of presets is in VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/GameSettingPresets (file name without .json).
How do I configure my V Rising server?

Name, description, password, max players, admin slots, game mode, difficulty, saves and visibility in the list are set in GamePanelServer Options and applied at every start.

  1. GamePanelServer Options: change the setting you want.

  2. Restart the server to apply it.

Common errors

  • The Options settings take precedence over a ServerHostSettings.json file: change them in the Options.
  • "Slow down when empty" reduces the load when nobody is connected; automatic saves are then spaced out too.
Where are my V Rising saves?

In save-data/Saves/v4/<save name> (world1 by default). The game saves every 2 minutes while players are online and keeps the last 20.

  1. Server files: save-data/Saves/v4/world1, files AutoSave_N.save.gz.

  2. New world: change "Save name" (VR_SAVE_NAME) in the Options and restart; the old one stays available under its name.

  3. Number of saves kept and interval: "Saves kept" and "Save interval" in the Options.

Common errors

  • A stop or restart resumes from the last automatic save: what was done in the last 2 minutes can be lost.
How do I schedule an automatic restart of my V Rising server?

A scheduled task restarts the server at a fixed time, as Stunlock recommends (once a day). Each restart also installs the latest server version.

In the GamePanel

your serverSystemSchedulesOpen

  1. GamePanelSystemSchedulesCreate, choose Empty task, Continue, then the name, frequency and time, and Create the task.

  2. On the task page, Create a task: Send a power action, Restart the server, offset 0.

  3. Trigger runs the task right away to try it, restart included.

Common errors

  • Pick a quiet time: connected players are disconnected during the restart.
