Romestead Admin & Console Commands

Your Romestead dedicated server accepts admin commands directly through standard input (stdin), there's no separate RCON tool to install. On your MintServers panel, the Console tab is wired straight into this input, so you can send commands by typing them and pressing Enter.

Sending Commands

1. Log into your MintServers panel and select your Romestead server.
2. Click the Console tab in the left-hand sidebar.
3. Type your command into the input field at the bottom and press Enter.

The Full Command List

These are the commands the Romestead dedicated server currently accepts:

list                  # show everyone currently connected
say          # broadcast a message to all players
kick          # disconnect a player
ban           # disconnect and permanently ban a player
save                  # save the world without stopping the server
quicksave             # a faster save, useful before risky changes
stop                  # save the world, then shut the server down
quickstop             # shut down without a full save pass

Is There An In-Game Player Console?

No, not yet. Romestead is currently in Early Access, and there is no officially documented in-game console or player-facing cheat menu at this stage. Every command above runs on the server side, through the Console tab, not inside a player's own game window.

This also applies to the EnableCheats field in your server's config.json. The official wiki lists it as reserved for future use, meaning it does not currently unlock a working cheat or spawn command set for players. If you're setting up your server's config for the first time, our guide on configuring your Romestead server (config.json Explained) covers every field in that file in detail.

A Practical Example

A common admin workflow is warning players before a scheduled restart, saving the world, and then shutting down cleanly:

say Server restarting in 60 seconds, wrap up what you're doing
save
stop

Note that stop already saves the world before shutting down on its own, running save first is just a way to get a clean snapshot a little earlier in the countdown.

If a command isn't behaving the way you expect, or you run into anything else while managing your server, no worries! Just open a support ticket and our team will gladly take a look.
