Platform Features

Everything you need to run Minecraft at scale

From auto sleep/wake cost savings to enterprise multi-tenancy, CraftCtrl has every tool you need to host Minecraft servers professionally.

Server Management

Full control over every server

Start, stop, and restart servers with one click. Manage multiple Minecraft versions, execute RCON commands, and access real-time console logs — all from a single dashboard.

One-click lifecycle controls
Start, stop, restart, and force-kill servers from the dashboard or via the API. Instant status feedback with live phase indicators.
Version management
Switch between Minecraft versions, server software (Paper, Spigot, Purpur, Fabric, Forge, Vanilla) and rollback if something breaks.
RCON console
Execute commands directly on your server from the browser. Full command history, tab completion, and live output streaming.
File manager
Browse, edit, and upload server files directly. Modify server.properties, configs, and world files without SSH or FTP.

Auto Sleep/Wake

Save 60–70% with intelligent hibernation

Servers automatically hibernate when no players are online and wake within 60 seconds when someone tries to connect. You're never charged for idle compute.

Idle detection
Configurable inactivity timeout. When no players have been online for your chosen duration (default 10 minutes), the server hibernates automatically.
Wake on connect
Powered by lazymc. When a player tries to connect, they see a 'Server starting' screen. The server boots and the player is connected within 60 seconds.
Zero-cost sleeping
Sleeping servers release their compute allocation. You only pay for storage (worlds and backups) during hibernation — not CPU or RAM.
Cost dashboard
Real-time cost tracking showing active vs sleeping time, projected monthly spend, and historical cost savings from hibernation.

Backups & Restore

Never lose your world again

Automated scheduled backups to S3-compatible storage. Point-in-time restore lets you recover from any incident in minutes.

Automated scheduling
Set daily, twice-daily, or hourly backup schedules. Backups run automatically and are uploaded to S3-compatible storage (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO).
Point-in-time restore
Browse your backup history and restore to any previous snapshot. Incremental backups keep storage costs low without sacrificing granularity.
Encryption at rest
All backups are encrypted with AES-256 before being uploaded. Your world data is secure in transit and at rest.
One-click restore
Restore a backup to the same server or clone it to a new one. Great for testing modpack updates or recovering from griefing.

Plugin Manager

Manage plugins without the headaches

Search and install plugins directly from Modrinth, SpigotMC, and CurseForge. Automatic dependency resolution and safe update management keep your server stable.

Multi-source search
Search across Modrinth, SpigotMC, and CurseForge simultaneously. Filter by Minecraft version, server type, and category.
Dependency resolution
CraftCtrl automatically detects and installs plugin dependencies. No more hunting down library JARs manually.
Safe auto-updates
Staged plugin updates with automatic rollback if the server fails to start after an update. Review changelogs before applying.
Upload custom JARs
Have a private plugin or something not in the public repositories? Upload custom JARs directly from the dashboard.

Monitoring & Alerts

Full visibility into server health

Live metrics, structured log streaming, and configurable alerts keep you informed before problems become incidents.

Live server metrics
CPU usage, memory consumption, TPS (ticks per second), MSPT, and player count — all updated in real-time with historical charts.
Log streaming
Live log viewer with syntax highlighting, pattern-based filtering, and error frequency tracking. Spot issues as they happen.
Configurable alerts
Set thresholds for TPS degradation, memory pressure, player count, and more. Get notified via email, Discord webhook, or Slack.
Chat event tracking
Parse and track in-game chat events, player joins/leaves, and custom log patterns. Build custom dashboards with the API.

Multi-Tenancy

Built for teams and hosting providers

Kubernetes namespace isolation, role-based access control, and resource quotas make CraftCtrl ready for production multi-tenant deployments.

Team access control
Invite teammates with scoped roles: Owner, Admin, Operator, and Viewer. Fine-grained permissions per server or across the entire organization.
Kubernetes namespace isolation
Each tenant gets their own Kubernetes namespace. Resources, network policies, and storage are fully isolated with no cross-tenant access.
Resource quotas
Set hard limits on CPU, memory, and server count per tenant. Prevent runaway resource usage without manual intervention.
Hosting provider mode
Run CraftCtrl as a hosted service for your own customers. White-label support and billing integration available on the Enterprise plan.
