How to set a V Rising server password

V Rising server password prompt

By default, your V Rising server is open to the public. You can change this by setting a server password. V Rising will then prompt players to enter the password when they try to connect to your server. This guide will show you how to set a server password in a few simple steps.

Setting a server password

  1. Start your server
  2. Pause your server
  3. Open your server's files
  4. Edit the gameserver/save-data/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json file
  5. Find the line saying "Password": "",
  6. Put your desired password in between the empty quotes
  7. Save the file
  8. Restart your server
