I would like to manage Minecraft server by using built in rcon.

Problem is that the server doesn’t return content.
open putty -> set address -> set port -> select ssh -> click open -> console opens, but its empty & i can’t do anything.

The weird thing is that:
1. ports are open
2. in putty log shows this: Connecting to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port xxxxx
3. minecraft console inform that im connected to the rcon

so it looks that I’m connected, but nothing shows in putty console.

I tried this query tool and its work fine. If this tool can, why putty can’t?

Thnx for any help.
