Fancy Minecraft RCON CLI

A powerful, user-friendly, and interactive command-line interface for sending RCON commands to a Minecraft server, written in Rust.

Features

• Connect to a Minecraft server using the RCON protocol
• Command autocompletion for all supported Minecraft commands (auto-derived via /help)
• Argument autocompletion and real-time hinting (shows next argument or possible values as you type)
• Interactive shell with persistent command history
• Syntax highlighting for commands
• Clean error handling and helpful error messages
• Supports aliases for commands (if defined)

TODOs

• Argument autocompletion
• Syntax highlighting for arguments
• More complex argument parsing (e.g., <respectTeams>|under)

Usage

Build

cargo build --release

Run

cargo run -- --address <host:port> [--password <rcon_password>]

• --address / -a: The address of your Minecraft server (e.g., 127.0.0.1:25575).

cargo run -- --address 127.0.0.1:25575
