Server management
Working with the console, files, databases and startup settings.
6 min read
Using the console
The console is where you talk directly to your server. You see what the server is doing in real time and can give commands.
| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
stop | Stops the server safely (the world is saved) |
restart | Restarts |
op <name> | Gives a player operator rights |
whitelist add <name> | Adds a player to the whitelist |
say <text> | Sends a message to all players |
save-all | Writes the world to disk immediately |
Stop the server properly
Instead of forcing a shutdown with the power button, type stop in the console — otherwise the latest world changes may be lost.
File manager
- You can open and edit files right in the browser — no need to download
- Download the ZIP archive and extract it via right-click → “Open”

Databases
Some plugins (such as economy or registration plugins) need a MySQL database. You create one in the control panel with one click.
- 1
Create a database
Server → “Databases” → “New database”. The system gives you the host, name, user and password.
- 2
Put it in the plugin config
Enter these details in the plugin’s
config.ymlfile. - 3
Restart it
After the server restarts, the plugin connects to the database.
Startup variables
In the Startup section you control how the server launches — such as the Minecraft version or the memory given to the core.
Changing the version
After changing the version you need to reinstall the server. This does not delete the world, but make a backup first to be safe.
