Manage your Minecraft server from any browser

Sign in to the app and your servers show up at mcservermanager.com/dashboard, on your phone or any other browser. There's nothing to open on your router and your home IP stays private.

What the web dashboard does

It's a management panel for your servers that opens in any browser, on your phone or a laptop at work. From it you can:

• See if the server is running, the player count, CPU and RAM, TPS and the last day of readings
• Start, stop or restart the server, run console commands with the live output in front of you
• Manage players, worlds, mods, plugins, datapacks, backups, schedules and the server's files
• Share a server with other people, each with their own role

The app keeps one outbound connection to our servers and the dashboard talks to it through that, so there's no port to open on your router and your home IP isn't exposed. It works on any home internet, including connections that block port forwarding. On a phone you can add it to the home screen and it opens like an app.

Step 1: Sign in to MC Server Manager

The dashboard comes with Standard, so any relay subscription or the Linux edition has it too. Lite doesn't. Sign in using the account button in the top left of the app. There's nothing else to set up, the app connects to the dashboard on its own from then on, every time it starts.

Step 2: Open the dashboard

Visit mcservermanager.com/dashboard in any browser and sign in with the same account. Every PC signed in with that account is listed, with its servers under it. Click a server for its live stats and controls.

Step 3: Share a server with someone (optional)

If you have co-admins or people you trust to help moderate, you can give them access without sharing your account.

1. In the dashboard, press Staff at the top, it opens Dashboard users
2. Press Share with someone and put in their email address
3. Pick a default role, plus a different role per server if you want one
4. They sign in at mcservermanager.com/login with their own account. If they haven't got one yet, the invite waits for them

Your email stays yours. People you share with pick your dashboard from a list by the name you give it in Dashboard users ("Shared dashboard" until you set one) and the link they use carries an id, never your address.

What each role can do

There are three roles. A Moderator gets the console, the players and the server controls. An Admin can change settings and content on top of that. The Owner is you, a few things stay yours alone, like the relay, the machine's own settings and who has access. A role has everything the roles below it have.

This table is generated from the app's own permission table, so it's exactly what each role can do, tab by tab.

What happens if my PC goes offline?

The dashboard shows the machine as offline, since it's a remote view of the server running on your PC. When the PC comes back and MC Server Manager starts, it reconnects on its own. Anyone you've shared with keeps their access.

FAQ

Is this safe to leave running?

Yes. The connection from your PC is outbound only, your router and home IP aren't exposed at all. Sign-in uses your MC Server Manager account, with two-factor authentication if you've turned it on, so nobody can load the dashboard and start stopping things.

Does the dashboard work for Bedrock servers too?

Yes. The same dashboard manages Java and Bedrock servers, plus servers running on a Linux box with the Linux edition.

What's the difference between this and a relay?

The dashboard is for you to manage your server from a browser. A relay is for your players to connect to your server in Minecraft without port forwarding. Different purposes, both built into the app, you can use either one or both.
