How to Kick and Ban Players on Your Mordhau Server

You remove players from a Mordhau server through RCON. This lets you manage your server from your PC without being in the game yourself. RCON is disabled by default and has to be set up once.

Set up RCON

1. Assign a port
   RCON needs a port of its own. Assign an additional port to your server in the dashboard and note the value.

2. Stop the server
   Stop your server via the dashboard.

3. Connect via SFTP
   Connect to your server via SFTP.

4. Open the Game.ini
   Open the following file:

   /Mordhau/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini
   

5. Enable RCON
   In the section [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession] enter your RCON password and the assigned port:

   [/Script/Mordhau.MordhauGameSession]
   RconPassword=ASecurePassword
   RconPort=YourRconPort
   RconTimeout=120.000000
   

6. Start the server
   Save the file and start your server.

7. Connect via RCON
   Connect with an RCON tool that supports the Source RCON protocol. Enter the IP address of your server, the RCON port and the RCON password there.

List the players

For kicks and bans you need the player's PlayFab ID. The following command returns it:

playerlist

The server returns one line per player with the PlayFab ID and the player name.

Kick a player

kick <PlayFabID> <reason>

The player is disconnected from the server immediately but can rejoin at any time.

Ban a player

ban <PlayFabID> <duration> <reason>

The duration is given in minutes. If you enter 0, the ban is permanent.

Lift a ban

unban <PlayFabID>

With banlist you can check all active bans and their remaining duration beforehand.

Mute a player

mute <PlayFabID> <minutes>

unmute <PlayFabID>

With mutelist you get all currently muted players.
