This guide covers everything you need to know about setting up and configuring your Rising World dedicated server on Legion Hosting. Rising World is a voxel-based sandbox game where players build, explore, and survive in a procedurally generated open world. For admin commands and server management, see our Rising World Admin Commands guide.
What is Rising World?
Rising World is an open-world voxel sandbox game developed by JIW-Games that combines building, crafting, exploration, and survival in a procedurally generated environment. Players can construct elaborate structures block by block, farm resources, explore underground caves and dungeons, and survive against wildlife and environmental challenges.
Key features include:
- Voxel Building — Place and remove individual blocks to construct anything from small cabins to massive castles
- Procedural World — Every server generates a unique world with biomes, caves, dungeons, and terrain features
- Crafting and Survival — Gather resources, craft tools and equipment, farm crops, and manage hunger and health
- Plugin Support — Extend your server with Java-based plugins for custom gameplay mechanics
- Multiplayer — Dedicated servers support cooperative and competitive play with configurable PvP settings
First Start
When your Rising World server is provisioned on Legion Hosting, it comes pre-configured and ready to launch. To get your server running for the first time:
- Log in to GPanel at gpanel.legionhosting.net
- Select your Rising World server from the server list
- Review your Startup Variables to set your server name and world seed before the first launch
- Click Start to launch the server
- The server will generate the world and default configuration files on first boot
- Once the console shows the server is listening for connections, players can join
GPanel Startup Variables
GPanel provides startup variables that let you configure key server parameters without editing files directly. These are passed as command-line arguments when the server starts.

SRV_PW |
Password required to join (leave empty for public) | (empty) |

WORLD_NAME |

RCON |
Enable or disable the RCON remote console (true or false) |
false |
RCON_PASS |
Password for RCON login (minimum 6 characters) | somepassword |
Server Configuration (server.properties)
The main server configuration file is server.properties, located in the server root directory. You can edit this file through GPanel's File Manager. Key settings include:
# Server Settings

Server_Port=4255

How to Connect
Once your server is running, players can connect using the following methods:
Via Server Browser
- Launch Rising World from Steam
- From the main menu, click Multiplayer
- Browse the server list or use the search bar to find your server by name
- Select the server and click Connect
- Enter the password if one is set
Via Direct Connect
- Launch Rising World from Steam
- From the main menu, click Multiplayer
- Click Direct Connect (or enter the IP in the connection field)
- Enter your server's IP address and port (e.g.,
192.168.1.100:4255) - Click Connect
Save Management
Rising World stores world data in the server's save directory. Understanding the save structure helps with backups and world management.
Save File Structure
Worlds/myworld/
world.db <-- Main world database (terrain, blocks, objects)
players/ <-- Individual player inventories and positions
config/ <-- World-specific configuration overridesBackup Recommendations
- Use GPanel's built-in backup feature to create snapshots before major changes
- You can also download the entire save folder via SFTP for local backups
- Before updating the game or installing plugins, always create a manual backup
- To reset the world, stop the server, delete or rename the world folder (e.g.
Worlds/myworld/), and restart — a new world will be generated
