Our verdict on CraftControl Dashboard

CraftControl Dashboard is a free, open-source, self-hostable control panel for Minecraft server administrators. A web dashboard connects to a Node.js daemon running on the Minecraft host, giving operators a central place to manage Minecraft Java, Purpur, and Paper servers. Its intended audience is people running servers for themselves and friends who want direct control over hosting, files, players, backups, and automation without a commercial subscription.

Its strongest area is the combination of live operations and server administration. Console and command streaming use WebSockets, while CPU, memory, and TPS monitoring provide visibility into server performance. The web file manager supports viewing, editing, uploading, deletion, and archive operations. Administrators can also manage OP and deop status, whitelists, kicks, and bans. Plugin and datapack installation connects with Modrinth and SpigotMC, while scheduled Google Drive backups add a practical off-server storage option.

There are no paid tiers described: the project is open source and includes its published feature set without a listed commercial plan structure. Role-based authentication provides Admin, Moderator, and Pending roles, with Firebase Authentication and Firestore among the documented integrations. The custom daemon REST API covers server and file operations, making CraftControl a fit for Linux users who value API access and self-hosting. It is less suitable for operators who need another operating system, broader server-software coverage, SFTP access, or server-import workflows.
