Workbench RCON Console
Send arbitrary commands to your Minecraft server from the dashboard.
The Workbench includes an RCON console for sending one-off commands to your Minecraft server. Useful for debugging, manually granting an item to a customer, or triggering events without SSHing into your server.
Set up
Workbench RCON requires RCON to be configured (see Game Servers). Once host + port + password are saved, the Workbench RCON tab is enabled.
Use
- Open the Dashboard and click the RCON tab on the Workbench panel at the bottom of the page.
- Pick the server from the dropdown.
- Type a command (without the leading
/) and press Enter. - The response appears in the console below.
Audit log
Every RCON command is logged with the user who sent it, the command, the response, and the timestamp. Visible in Audit Log. Can't be turned off — RCON is privileged enough that we always want a paper trail.
Limits
- 30 commands per minute per IP (rate-limited)
- Commands max 1024 characters
- No CRLF in commands (would fragment into multiple commands at the RCON protocol layer)
Why not use this for deliveries?
Production deliveries should use the Storra plugin (poll-based, works behind firewalls). RCON is admin-tooling sugar — fine for one-off commands, but the plugin push channel is more reliable.
