A rented server keeps your world running after the friend who hosted it logs off, so the group can keep building, farming and riding out temporal storms on their own schedule. Almost every server setting lives in serverconfig.json: MaxClients (16 by default), Port (42420), AllowPvP, Password and the WorldConfig block with the seed, PlayStyle and map size. The official Vintage Story wiki recommends creating the world in singleplayer through the Customize menu, then copying the save into the server's Saves folder while the server is stopped. Rename the save to default.vcdbs or point SaveFileLocation at it, and the server loads it on the next start.
The second decision is who gets in. Since 1.20, dedicated servers whitelist by default, so a fresh server turns away anyone who is not on the list. /player name whitelist on adds a player without a restart. You can also set WhitelistMode to off and protect the server with Password instead. Listing on the public server browser is off by default as well, so set AdvertiseServer to true only if you want strangers. Setting DefaultRoleCode to suvisitor limits new joiners until you promote them with /player name role suplayer. Players connect on port 42420, which carries UDP as well as TCP since 1.20.
The wiki's estimate for a survival world where players spread out is 1 GB of base RAM plus 300 MB per player, with 4 CPU threads recommended. By that formula, Starter's 4 GB covers about ten players on a vanilla world. Plus (8 GB) clears the default 16-player cap with room for mods, and Pro (16 GB) is for large groups or a heavy modpack. The current stable release is 1.22.7, out since 16 August 2026, and the 1.22 line needs the .NET 10 runtime. The 1.22.4/5 server safety patch closed entity and object interactions that skipped land claim and permission checks, so keep a public server on the latest patch.
Vintage Story has official mod support, and the official ModDB lists more than 10,500 mods, from theme packs and JSON content mods to C# code mods. To install one on the server, upload its .zip, unextracted, to the Mods folder while the server is stopped. It loads on the next start. You can also run /moddb install [modid] from the console. Players do not install server mods by hand. Since 1.16, joining a modded server downloads its server-side and universal mods into a per-server folder under ModsByServer, and only client-only mods are added manually. Check the game version each mod supports before updating, because 1.22 moved the game to .NET 10 and changed parts of the modding API.
