⚖️ Plugin vs RCON Comparison

Feature	Plugin	RCON
Player Required Online	✅ Yes	❌ No
Supports Self Commands	✅ Yes (GiveItem)	❌ No
Executes Commands	Player (in-game)	Server, even when empty
Multi-server Setup	One server entry with shared API key possible	Each server must be added and linked individually

🔀 Using Plugin and RCON Together

You can use both connection methods simultaneously. For example:

• Use Plugin for item delivery and player-dependent actions

• Use RCON for account-based tasks like points and permissions

This hybrid setup offers maximum flexibility across all your products.
