Yet another RCON (Remote Console) Connection Library

The RCON protocol facilitates remote interaction with a server via its console interface. This Node.js library establishes a connection to an RCON server, authenticates using a password, and sends commands to the server.

Installation

To install the RCON library, follow these steps:

Install from NpmJS:

npm install mcjar-rcon

Usage Example

const Rcon = require('mcjar-rcon').Rcon;

// Initialize RCON connection
const rconClient = new Rcon('server_address', rcon_port, 'rcon_password');

// Connect to the server and run the "list" command
async function main() {
    await rconClient.connect()
    console.log(await rconClient.send('list'))
    await rconClient.disconnect()
}
main()

API Reference

Rcon(host: string, port: number, password: string)

Parameters:

• host: The host address of the RCON server.
• port: The port number for the RCON connection.
• password: The password required for RCON authentication.

Methods

connect(): Promise<void>
    Establishes a connection to the RCON server.

disconnect(): Promise<void>
    Closes the connection to the RCON server.

send(command: string): Promise<any>
    Sends a command to the RCON server.
    command: The command string to be sent.

isAuthenticated()
    Returns the auth status of the rcon connection

isConnected()
    Returns whether the socket is connected or not

Notes

• Ensure the server address, port, and RCON password are correctly provided.
• This library uses promises for asynchronous operations.
• Commands can be sent only after successful authentication.
