Backups

Zip files of the server folder. While the server runs, saving pauses for the copy, so the world is consistent. Pinned backups are never removed automatically.

Backup settings

Scheduled tasks

Restarts with a countdown in chat, backups, commands and messages, at set times or every few minutes. Times are in .

Log cleanup

Deletes old log files once a day after 05:00 (latest.log is never touched). Patterns work like in backups.

Mod configs

Everything in config/. The format is checked before saving (JSON, JSON5, TOML, YAML, properties); simple files can also be edited as a form. Most mods read their config at start, so restart the server afterwards.

Installed

Change version

Every update makes a backup first, swaps the server and mod files, and starts the server. If it doesn't come up, the backup is restored automatically. Going back to an older Minecraft version isn't supported by Minecraft itself; use Undo below instead.

Borders

Per dimension, distances in blocks from the center. Inside the soft border is the permanent area: it's never trimmed. Between the soft and the hard border lie the outer wilds, which a scheduled task can reset (trim) every week. Nobody gets past the hard border: players are put back inside, and a square one also sets the world border so they see the wall. Hard border 0 = none.

Pregenerate

Generates every chunk up to the hard border (or the soft border without one) in each dimension with Pregen ticked, one dimension after another, so players don't wait for terrain and the map is complete. It runs on its own thread in the mod, only as fast as the server has room for, keeps going with nobody online and carries on after a restart.

Reset the outer wilds

Deletes all generated chunks outside the soft border in every dimension with borders (whole region files, single chunks along the edge, also entities and points of interest). They generate fresh when someone goes there. Only while the server is stopped; a backup is made first. To do this every week, add a task in Schedule with the Reset the outer wilds step (it stops and starts the server itself), or use the preset there.

Web map

A top-down map of your world for everyone, drawn by the panel from the region files (it doesn't slow the server and stays online while the server is off).

Open the map

Discord bridge

Players link their Discord account to play, chat goes both ways (chat only, never commands), game events are posted, and the bot's status shows the server.

Linked accounts

Players link by sending the code from the join screen to the bot. They can send unlink to the bot to remove it.

Users

Accounts for your team. What each one may do comes from its roles.

Roles

Admin can always do everything. Moderator and Viewer can be adjusted; your own roles can be added below.

SSH keys for SFTP

Log in to SFTP (port 2022) with your panel name and password, or add a public key to log in without a password. Your account needs the SFTP permission.
