Minecraft Compatibility
Although the package name implies exclusive compatibility with Source games, Minecraft servers also use Valve's RCON implementation, so there should not be any issues using this package for your Minecraft projects!
Examples
Using async/await:
import Rcon from 'rcon-srcds';
const server = new Rcon({ host: '127.0.0.1', port: 25010 });
try {
await server.authenticate('your_rcon_password');
console.log('authenticated');
let status = await server.execute('status'); // You can read `status` reponse
server.execute('mp_autokick 0'); // no need to read the response
} catch(e) {
console.error(e);
}
Using (native) promises:
import Rcon from 'rcon-srcds';
const server = new Rcon({ port: 25010 });
server.authenticate('rcon_password')
.then(() => {
console.log('authenticated');
return server.execute('status');
})
.then(console.log)
.catch(console.error);
