Every feature

Making servers

New Server is one dialog. Pick a type and a version, the app fetches the jar, the Java it needs and writes the config.

Tabs: Overview

• Vanilla, Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Forge, Fabric, Quilt, NeoForge and Bedrock servers, plus Velocity and BungeeCord proxies (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• A jar of your own as a server type: the version and the Java it needs are read off the jar (Lite, Standard, Linux)
• Every Minecraft version the loader has, with a Show snapshots switch for Java and Quilt (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• The right Java is downloaded and picked for the version, with a switch to use one of your own (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• RAM, port, install folder and the EULA set in the dialog, changed any time after (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Import a server that already exists on the disk, from any folder (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Install a modpack from CurseForge or Modrinth as a new server: search, pick the version, done (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Clone a server: the same files, settings, schedule and tasks on its own port, with the worlds or without them (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Change the Minecraft version or the server type in place, with a backup first (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)

• Lite runs up to three servers with 8GB each in six hour sessions, Standard has no limits (Lite, Standard)

Running them

Start, watch and control every server from one window, or every machine from one browser tab.

Tabs: Overview, Console, Resources, Diagnose

• Start, stop, restart and kill a stuck server, Start all and Stop all across the machine, a proxy network in the right order (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Start with the app: chosen servers come up when the app opens. The app itself can open with Windows, in the tray (Lite, Standard)
• The Overview shows how people join as one table: local, LAN, the relay, port forwarding, your own domain (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Check whether players can reach the server from outside, or just ping it (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Hide your public IP on screen, remembered until you press Show (Lite, Standard)

Who's on, who's been on, the whitelist, ops and bans as lists you click rather than commands you type.

Schedules, tasks and triggers

The server looks after itself: restarts on a timer, tasks on a schedule or on what the server does, sleep when nobody's on.

Tabs: Schedule

• Scheduled restarts every so often, at set times on the days you pick, or on a cron line, in your time zone, with warnings to players first (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard, needs Standard)

• After a crash: leave it stopped, restart once, or keep restarting up to a number of times an hour, with the decision written in the console (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Sleep when empty: the server stops after a while with nobody on, its port stays held, the first player to join wakes it (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)
• Tasks: run a command, say something to players, back up to disk or to cloud storage, restart, stop or start, every so often, at times on days, or on a cron line (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard, needs Standard)
• Tasks fire on what the server does: before it starts, when it's up, when it stops or crashes, when a player joins or leaves, when it's been empty for a while, when TPS drops under a number (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard, needs Standard)
• A Notify action sends the task's message to Discord or your own webhook, so a TPS alert is one task (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard, needs Standard)

Notifications

Discord and any webhook you like, told when the server starts, stops, crashes or someone joins.

Tabs: Notifications

• Messages carry the address players use, the relay's or your domain's, never your raw IP (Standard, Linux, Web dashboard, needs Standard)

Backups and cleanup

Backups on your disk, backups off your PC in cloud storage, a cleanup that knows what's safe to remove.

Tabs: Backups, Cleanup

• A backup of the whole server in one click, the world held still while it's copied on a running server (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)

• Cleanup scans for old logs, crash reports and leftovers, shows what would go, removes it on a click or on its own (Lite, Standard, Linux, Web dashboard)

Letting friends join

A relay puts a server on your own PC on a proper address with no port forwarding. The rest is there for people who'd rather do it themselves.
