How to kick someone from a Shockbyte RuneScape: Dragonwilds server

You can kick a player from your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server on Shockbyte by using the in‑game admin panel (Server / Server Management tab) with the server’s admin password, or by using admin commands if your server setup supports them. Only admins can kick online players; the server owner can also ban and manage offline players.

Below is a step‑by‑step guide tailored to Shockbyte’s Dragonwilds setup.

Quick answer (TL;DR)

  • Set an AdminPassword in your DedicatedServer.ini on Shockbyte.
  • Join your server, press ESC , go to Settings → Server (or Server Management).
  • Paste the admin password to log in as admin.
  • In the Social / User Management list, select the player and click Kick (or Ban).
  • Only the owner can unban or manage offline players; admins can only kick/ban online regular users.

1. Prepare admin access on Shockbyte

Before you can kick anyone, you must be an admin on the server.

  1. Log into your Shockbyte control panel for your RuneScape: Dragonwilds server.

  2. Stop the server.

  3. Go to Configuration Files (or Files → DedicatedServer.ini).

  4. Find the line:

    ini

AdminPassword=

  5. Set a strong password, for example:

    ini

AdminPassword=MySecretAdmin123

  6. Save the file and restart the server.

Tip: Keep this password safe. Anyone who knows it can act as an admin on your server.

2. Kick a player in‑game (recommended method)

This is the simplest and most common way, and it matches Shockbyte’s Dragonwilds setup.

  1. Join your server with your client.
  2. Press ESC to open the menu.
  3. Go to Settings → Server (or Settings → Server Management depending on your version).
  1. You’ll see a section labeled something like:
    • “Server” tab → “Admin Password” field
    • or “Server Management” → “Enter Admin Password”
  2. Paste the AdminPassword you set earlier and confirm.
    • This logs you in as an admin.
  1. Once logged in as admin, you’ll see lists like:
    • Users in Game (online players)
    • Kicked Users
    • Banned Users
  2. To kick:
    • In Users in Game , click the player you want to remove.
    • Press the Kick button.
    • The player will instantly leave the server and appear in Kicked Users.
  1. To ban (if you want them unable to rejoin):
    • Select the player in Users in Game.
    • Press Ban.
    • They will be moved to Banned Users.

3. Permissions: who can do what?

Understanding who can kick or ban helps avoid confusion.

Role| Can kick online players?| Can ban online players?| Can unban / manage offline?
---|---|---|---
Owner| ✅ Yes| ✅ Yes| ✅ Yes
Admin| ✅ Yes (online only)| ✅ Yes (online only)| ❌ No
Regular| ❌ No| ❌ No| ❌ No

  • Only admins can kick/ban players who are currently online.
  • Only the owner can unban players or manage offline players via Server Management.

4. Common issues and troubleshooting

“I can’t see Kick/Ban buttons”

  • Make sure you entered the correct admin password in the Server / Server Management tab.
  • If it still doesn’t work, double‑check:
    • The password in DedicatedServer.ini on Shockbyte.
    • That the server has restarted after you changed the file.

“Player is not in the list”

  • The player might be offline.
  • Admins can only kick/ban online players.
  • If you need to remove an offline player permanently, only the owner can do that via Server Management.

“I kicked someone but they keep coming back”

  • Kicking is temporary; they can rejoin immediately.
  • To prevent rejoining, use Ban instead of Kick.
  • Only the owner can unban, so if you want permanent control, ensure bans are handled by the owner or a trusted admin.

5. Alternative: using admin commands (if supported)

Some Dragonwilds server setups also support command‑line admin commands. If your server documentation or config mentions commands, you can:

  1. Open the in‑game console or remote admin panel.

  2. Use commands like:

    text

/kick <player name> <reason>
/ban <player name> <hours> <reason>

Exact command names depend on your build; check your server’s config or hosting docs if this is available. For most Shockbyte Dragonwilds servers, the in‑game admin panel is the recommended method.

Quick checklist

  • ✅ Admin password set in DedicatedServer.ini on Shockbyte.
  • ✅ Server restarted after changing the config.
  • ✅ You logged in as admin via Settings → Server / Server Management.
  • ✅ You selected the player and clicked Kick (or Ban).
