When players are causing issues for your server, the banlist.txt file offers a way to permanently remove those players from your server by adding their Steam64IDs here so that they cannot join back.

The ServerGameSettings.json file offers another great way to edit all of your server settings aside from using the “General” settings editor. This includes everything from your V Rising world’s gamemode, world options, multipliers, time settings, and stats.

Inside the ServerHostSettings.json file, you can find all of your main server options. Many of these options are the same options found in the “General” setting editor area.
