How to Change Your V Rising Server Name, Password and Slots

V Rising keeps its host settings in a single JSON file. The important detail is which copy you edit, because the game ships defaults that are copied over the top if you edit the wrong one.

Edit the right file

1. Stop the server.
2. In the panel open Files and go to:

   save-data/Settings/ServerHostSettings.json

3. Edit that file. Do not edit the copy under VRisingServer_Data/StreamingAssets/Settings/, which is the template the server reads from only when no save-data copy exists.

The settings that matter

{
  "Name": "My PlayNHost V Rising Server",
  "Description": "PvE, weekend raids only.",
  "Port": 9876,
  "QueryPort": 9877,
  "MaxConnectedUsers": 20,
  "MaxConnectedAdmins": 4,
  "ServerFps": 30,
  "SaveName": "world1",
  "Password": "",
  "Secure": true,
  "ListOnMasterServer": true,
  "AutoSaveCount": 20,
  "AutoSaveInterval": 120,
  "RconEnabled": false,
  "RconPort": 25575,
  "RconPassword": ""
}

• Name and Description are what show in the browser.
• Password empty means anyone can join. Setting it also hides the server from the default browser filters.
• SaveName selects which world loads, from save-data/Saves/v3/. Changing it to a name that does not exist starts a fresh world without deleting the old one.
• AutoSaveInterval is in seconds and AutoSaveCount is how many autosaves are kept.

Ports and slots

Do not change Port or QueryPort in this file. They must match the ports allocated to your server, which are shown on the server overview in the panel. A mismatch makes the server unreachable.

Slots work the same way. Your plan's slot count is applied through the VR_MAX_USERS variable on your server's Startup Settings page, reachable from the server overview. Setting MaxConnectedUsers higher in the JSON does not add slots. To run more players, upgrade the plan in the billing area.

Apply the changes

Save the file and start the server. Check the panel console for a JSON parse error, which is what a stray comma or missing brace produces. The server will not start until the file is valid.

Game rules are a separate file

PvP or PvE, castle damage, decay and progression rates live in save-data/Settings/ServerGameSettings.json, not in this file. See our guide on changing V Rising game settings.
