MineDash

MineDash is a web panel for Minecraft servers. It runs inside your server as one plugin, needs no database and no extra software, and everything you see in it is a module that you can switch on and off.

What you get

• Overview page with live graphs for CPU, memory and TPS, player count, uptime, storage and information about the server and the machine
• Console module to watch the server log live and run commands
• Files module to browse, edit, upload, download, zip and unzip the files of the server
• Accounts and permissions in a simple users.json
• Modules as plain .jar files in a folder. Third parties can write their own modules with a small Java API and any web frontend
• A clean, responsive interface with light and dark theme

Conventions

• Paths are relative to the folder the server was started in, so plugins/MineDash/config.json is the file in the plugins folder of your server.
• Text in code style is something you type or find in a file.
• Boxes that start with Warning describe things that can lock you out or expose your server.
