RCON Adapter

Tebex RCON Adapter – Integration Guide

The Tebex RCON Adapter is a self-hosted application that connects your Tebex webstore to your game server using the RCON protocol. It offers a more robust, reliable, and flexible alternative to legacy RCON integration methods.

Use this adapter if:

• Your game supports RCON

• No Tebex plugin exists for your game

• You need improved command tracking, player validation, and execution feedback

---

Key Features

• Reliable command delivery via RCON

• Real-time player online/offline validation

• Command success/failure detection

• Lightweight and self-hosted

• Works with or without official Tebex game plugins

The adapter queries Tebex for pending package commands, just like an official plugin, then executes those commands via RCON to your game server.

---

Officially Supported Games

The RCON Adapter is recommended for the following titles to ensure full support:

• Conan Exiles

• Minecraft: Java Edition

• Minecraft: Bedrock Edition

• Minecraft (Offline/Geyser)

• Rust

• ARK: Survival Evolved

• 7 Days To Die

You may use the adapter with any game server that supports RCON, but functionality is only guaranteed for the titles listed above.

2. Guided Setup Prompts

The adapter will prompt you for:

• Your RCON host, port, and password

💡 If you're running the adapter on the same machine as your game server, use 127.0.0.1 as the RCON IP.

3. Configuration File

All settings are saved to:

tebex-config.json

You can manually edit this file to update credentials or connection settings.

---

4. Connection Behavior

• If RCON connection is successful, you’ll enter the live adapter console.

• If connection fails:

  • Run tebex.setup in the console to retry configuration.

  • The adapter will attempt automatic reconnection every 60 seconds.

Each restart reuses saved configuration unless manually modified.

RCON Passthrough Mode

The adapter also functions as an RCON client.

🔹 Tebex Commands

All Tebex commands start with:

tebex:

These are used internally by the adapter to process store packages.

🔹 Non-Tebex Commands

Any non-prefixed commands entered into the adapter console are forwarded directly to your game server’s RCON connection.

Use this feature to test commands manually or administer your server through the adapter interface.
