PvP/PvE modes + settings

V Rising's two main config files in /data/vrising/save-data/Settings/:

• ServerHostSettings.json — server name, slots, password, ports
• ServerGameSettings.json — gameplay knobs

Stop the server before editing.

Joining

In V Rising:

1. Online Play.
2. Search by name in the server browser, or Direct Connect with the IP.
3. Enter password if set.

Admin

Steam IDs of admins go in /data/vrising/save-data/Settings/adminlist.txt, one per line. Same for banlist.txt.

In-game, admins can use:

• .help — list admin commands
• .kick <name>
• .ban <name>
• .give <itemPrefab> <amount>
• .gm — toggle god mode

World wipe

Stop server → delete /data/vrising/save-data/Saves/v3/<SaveName>/ → start. New world generates.
