Console and commands

Console shows your server's live log and lets you send commands to it. Use it for startup errors, admin commands, saves, and quick checks.

When to use Console

Find startup errors

Open Console after a restart to see missing mods, bad settings, world load errors, or plugin failures.

Run admin commands

Send commands directly without joining the server in-game.

Running commands

  1. Open the server and choose Console.
  2. Wait for the log stream to connect.
  3. Type the command without a leading slash.
  4. Press Send and watch the response in the log.

Availability

If the console disconnects

Reload the page to reconnect. If the server itself stopped, open Overview and start it again, then return to Console.
