- Find your SteamID64: the 17-digit number tied to your Steam account, not your display name.
- In Files, open save-data/Settings/adminlist.txt (create it if it does not exist) and put your SteamID64 on its own line, one ID per line for each admin. No restart is needed.
- In the game, open the options menu, then General, and turn on Console Enabled. Then join your server.
- Press the ~ key to open the console and type adminauth to authenticate as administrator.
- Optional, for remote admin tools: under Settings, then Game Settings, turn on Enable RCON, set an RCON Password of your own (the server refuses an empty one) and restart. Then connect an RCON client such as mcrcon to your server address with the RCON Port shown under Settings, then Game Settings (it cannot be changed) and your RCON Password. If it will not connect, contact support.
