How to Get Admin Rights on Your Frozen Flame Server

Frozen Flame has no admin list and no admin file. Your server is managed exclusively through RCON: anyone who knows the RCON password and the RCON port can run every admin command.

Warning

Treat the RCON password like an admin password and only share it with people you trust. There are no graduated permissions – everyone with RCON access has full control over your server.

RCON credentials

RCON is already set up on your server. You only need three details:

• IP address
  You can find the IP address of your server in the dashboard.

• RCON Port
  The RCON Port is also listed in the dashboard in the port overview. It is not the same as the Game Port or the Query Port.

• RCON password
  You can find and change the RCON password in the dashboard.

Connect via RCON

1. Open an RCON tool
   Open an RCON client. The developers mention mcrcon as an example, but any other RCON client works as well.

2. Enter the connection details
   Enter the IP address of your server and the RCON Port from the dashboard.

3. Enter the password
   Enter the password in the following format:

   admin:<RCON password>

   Important

   The admin: prefix is mandatory in the password field. If you enter only the plain RCON password, the server rejects the connection. This is the most common reason why the RCON login fails in Frozen Flame.

4. Run commands
   Once connected you can run the admin commands.

Admin commands at a glance

Command	Description
Admin_GetOnlinePlayers	Shows all currently connected players with their PlayerID
Admin_ListUserProfiles	Lists the player profiles stored on the server
Admin_ChatMessage [Message]	Sends a message to all players
Admin_SaveWorld	Saves the world
Admin_SaveAll	Saves the world and the player data
Admin_ScheduleMaintenanceMode <Seconds>	Schedules maintenance mode after the given time
Admin_CancelScheduledMaintenanceMode	Cancels the scheduled maintenance mode
Admin_Restart	Restarts the server
Admin_Shutdown	Shuts the server down

Note

The angle and square brackets in the command overview are placeholders only. Do not type them – enter the value directly instead, for example Admin_ScheduleMaintenanceMode 300.

Tip

Run Admin_SaveAll before creating a backup or downloading your savegame so the current state is written to disk – see Download savegame.

Warning

Admin_Shutdown stops the server process. Whether your server starts up again afterwards depends on the settings in your dashboard – restart it manually there if in doubt.

Admin rights for individual players

Important

Neither an admin file nor an admin password for the client exists: only people with RCON access have admin rights. The command Admin_AddUserProfile <PlayerID> <Role> does assign a role to a player, but which role names are valid is not documented anywhere – so there is no reliable way to grant admin rights to individual players. Guides that mention a file such as AdminList.txt or a chat command to unlock admin rights are not backed by the official documentation for Frozen Flame.
