Crafty Controller — Guide — Felhom.eu ← Apps Crafty Controller A Minecraft server manager - build your own world ● Running minecraft.tester4.test Open ↗ What is it for? Create and run a Minecraft server from a web page Run several servers side by side (Java and Bedrock) Backups and scheduled restarts happen on their own Manage players and reach the console Handle the server files from your browser First steps Open minecraft.tester4.test in your browser The first sign-in details are on this page, under Initial sign-in details Create a new Minecraft server with the wizard Set the server options (game mode, difficulty and the rest) Set the server port inside the range 25565-25575 (server.properties -> server-port); the first server uses 25565 and the rest 25566-25575 On your home network, connect to the server's local IP address and port (192.168.x.x:25565, for example) - the Minecraft client's local network search does not list it on its own, so type the address in by hand Reaching it over the internet needs port forwarding to the port or ports you chose - ask whoever runs the network Before you start At least 2 GB of free RAM is recommended (the Minecraft server + Crafty) An x86 processor is needed (it does not run on a Raspberry Pi) Minecraft servers may use the port range 25565-25575 (at most 11 servers at once) Start and stop the server The Minecraft server only lets players in while it is running. On the „Dashboard” page, select the name of the server. On the „Terminal” tab, select „Start”. Once the server is up, the „Dashboard” page shows it as „Online”. To stop it use „Stop”, to restart it use „Restart”. Commands on the server console On the console you can give the server commands, as if you were an operator in the game. Open the „Terminal” tab of the server. Type the command without a slash in „Enter your command”, for example: say Hello. Select „Send command”, and the answer shows on the console. On a Java server, the whitelist on command lets in only the players on the list; you add a friend with whitelist add followed by their player name. A scheduled restart A daily restart keeps the server fresh, and Crafty does it by itself. On the server's page, open the „Schedule” tab and select „Create New Schedule”. Give the schedule a name, and in „Action” choose „Restart Server”. In „Interval” type 1, choose „Days” next to it, and in „Time” pick a night-time hour. Select „Save”. Set your own password It is worth swapping the first password for one of your own that you can remember. Select the user menu at the top right and choose „Account Settings”. Type the new password in „New Password” and in „Confirm Password”. Select „Save”. The Felhom dashboard still shows the first password after this, and that one no longer works. Frequently asked questions Why is the server slow, or why does it stop? Crafty and the Minecraft servers share at most 2 GB of memory on the box. Run one smaller server at a time, and when you create a server, keep „Maximum Memory” below that. Where can I edit the server settings? On the server's „Files” tab you see its files and can edit them, for example server.properties. A change takes effect after the server restarts. How do I add a file of my own, for example a world or a mod? On the server's „Files” tab, open the target folder and use the „Upload” button. How many servers can I run? Because of the ports, at most eleven, in the 25565–25575 range. Because of the memory, rather only one or two at a time. Is my world backed up? The server files are on the box. You see the backup status on the dashboard, on the app's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
