WebMC review
A free, open-source Bedrock control panel for essential server administration.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WebMC is a free, open-source control panel for people running their own Minecraft Bedrock servers on Windows or Linux. Its web dashboard provides a way to manage a server remotely, while the software itself is downloaded and run locally. The feature set centers on practical administration: player management, bans, permission-level changes, backups, automatic updates, and live statistics. It is best suited to Bedrock server owners who want basic management without paying for a hosted control-panel service.
The strongest part of WebMC is its focused collection of core controls. Player administration covers both bans and permission-level changes, while backups and automatic updates address recurring server-maintenance tasks. Live statistics add an operational view through the dashboard. This makes WebMC a sensible fit for a home-hosted server where one person needs a straightforward way to manage the server and its players from a web interface. Its cross-platform availability across web, Windows, and Linux also supports that self-hosted model.
WebMC’s boundaries are equally clear. It is built for Minecraft Bedrock, so owners of other Minecraft server software should choose a panel with broader server-software support. The local installation model also requires downloading the software and using platform-specific startup scripts, rather than signing up for a hosted management service. WebMC should appeal to users who value free, open-source software and need essential Bedrock administration. It is a less natural choice for teams seeking a hosted service or a broader control-panel ecosystem.
