Players

Player List in the Game Server Panel

The Players tab shows you in real time which players are currently on your game server. The data is queried directly from the running server process via the game server query protocol — no plugin or mod required.

What the Tab Shows

• Current player count in the page header as a badge (e.g. 5 / 20)
• List of players currently online (name/UUID, join time)
• Live updates while the server is running

Requirements

• The server must be running. No query is possible while the server is stopped.
• The game must support a standard query protocol. Minecraft Java, Arma Reforger, and Hytale are automatically supported by the RespawnHost panel.
• For Minecraft, enable-query=true must be set in server.properties (enabled by default in all RespawnHost templates).

What the Tab Does NOT Do

The Players tab is a read-only display. The following actions do not happen here:

• Kicking or banning — use the in-game console or the Console tab (/kick, /ban, #kick).
• Whitelisting — edit whitelist.json or run /whitelist add in the Console tab.
• Granting op rights — via console or ops.json.

See Console for live commands and File Manager for configuration files.

Typical Use Cases

• Quick glance on your phone: who is playing right now?
• Debugging: is the server really full when query seems silent?
• Capacity planning: am I approaching slot usage and should upgrade?

Unlimited Player Slots at RespawnHost

RespawnHost has no artificial slot limits. The maximum number of players is only limited by your package’s hardware — not by licensing or slot fees like many competitors. You can freely set the maxPlayers field in your config.

See Arma Reforger Setup, Minecraft RAM Requirements, and Hytale RAM Requirements for per-player-count RAM sizing.

FAQ

Question: No players appear even though some are online. Why?

Check that the server is fully started. For Minecraft, enable-query=true must be set. For Arma Reforger, steamQueryPort must be reachable. Restart the server if needed.

Question: Can I kick players from the panel?

Not directly from the Players tab. Use the Console tab and run a kick command (/kick Name, #kick Name, depending on the game).

Question: Is player data stored historically?

No. The Players tab is a live query. For history, use plugins like CoreProtect (Minecraft) or your own logs.

Question: Does the player list work with proxy servers (BungeeCord, Velocity)?

Yes, as long as the proxy responds to a standard query. For Velocity, enable-query=true must be set in velocity.toml.
