version
.version

For every player, and from the console. It takes no arguments and prints one line:

Moongate 0.14.0 "Lilly" (Release), built 2026-10-05 14:32 UTC.

0.14.0 is the version of the release and Lilly its codename.
Release or Debug is the configuration the binaries were built in. A shard open to players runs a Release build; a Debug one is what dotnet run and a development build give.
The time is when mgserver was built, in UTC: two builds of the same version are told apart by it.

The same three facts open the server’s console at every start, under the banner:

Version: 0.14.0 (Release) Codename: "Lilly"
        Built: 2026-10-05 14:32 UTC

mgctl init shows them too, for mgctl itself: it is built on its own, so its Built: can differ by a minute from the server’s. mgctl --version prints the bare number, 0.14.0, for scripts.

A build that does not say how or when it was made reads (unknown) and built unknown.
