V Rising Server Guides
V Rising dedicated server guides: installation, ServerGameSettings.json, castle decay, RCON, and administrator management.
V Rising Server Configuration Guide
Configure your V Rising server — game mode, difficulty, PvP/PvE settings, castle limits, and vampire progression.
How to Configure Your V Rising Server
V Rising uses two separate JSON config files to control network settings and game rules. Here's how to find, edit, and validate them safely.
How to Set Up Admin Access on Your V Rising Server
Add your SteamID64 to adminlist.txt to unlock the in-game admin console, then use it to manage players, teleport, and give items.
How to Customize Game Rules and Difficulty on Your V Rising Server
ServerGameSettings.json controls everything from player damage and resource drops to castle decay and PvP rules. This guide covers the settings that matter most.
How to Kick and Ban Players on Your V Rising Server
Use in-game admin commands to kick or ban players on the fly, or edit banlist.txt directly to add pre-emptive bans before someone even joins.
How to Back Up Your V Rising Server
V Rising autosaves every 5 minutes, but those saves won't help you if the whole server goes sideways. Here's how to take proper backups you can actually restore from.
How to Wipe Your V Rising Server
A full wipe deletes the world save so the server generates a fresh world on next start. Your config files stay intact — only player progress is reset.
How to Update Your V Rising Server
Keeping your V Rising server up to date is straightforward, but major updates and DLC releases sometimes require extra steps before you restart.
How to Password-Protect or Set Up a Private V Rising Server
Lock down your V Rising server with a password, hide it from public browser listings, or do both for a fully private friends-only setup.
How to Enable and Configure PvP on Your V Rising Server
V Rising has multiple PvP modes — from full open-world PvP to time-restricted castle raiding. Here's how to configure each one and set up a raid weekend schedule.
