What is Crafty Controller?
Crafty is compatible with Windows (7, 8, 10, 11), Linux, and Mac
Crafty is coded in Python 3.7 and uses the following technologies:
- Tornado webserver used as a backend for the web side.
- Argon2 used for password hashing.
- SQLite DB used for settings and other data storage.
- Adminlte used for web templating.
- Font Awesome 4 used for Buttons and other graphical elements.
Crafty Controller is a Minecraft launcher and manager that allows users to start and administer Minecraft servers from a user friendly interface. The user interface is run as a self hosted web server that is accessible to devices on the local network by default and can be port forwarded to provide external access. Crafty is designed to be easy to install and use, requiring a bit of technical knowledge and a desire to learn to run. Crafty Controller is still actively being developed by Arcadia Technology.

Crafty in my opinion, is the best free Minecraft game panel out there! I have used Crafty for the last 3-4 months on a personal server and have enjoyed every bit of it. It's very easy to set up and has a ton of features!

crafty has changed the quality of life for me and our admins by providing a simple but powerful interface to manage our servers remotely and control letting us control what staff members are permitted to perform what actions in the control panel

I'm running a small MC server for friends and Crafty solved many issues for me. You did an awesome job. I've analyzed about 15-20 options of server controlling solutions, most of them feel outdated, too complex or even desktop =). You've achieved a great balance between functionality, user-friendliness and usability.

I've always thought an app or a service is as good as its developer or owner. Crafty has that in bundles. The Developer is pretty awesome and if you ask nicely he will add features to the build

It's an able and constantly growing Minecraft Server Manager. It's light and simple to use. The Development is active and the developer responsive and receptive to feature suggestions. I can say it's my favorite by far.

Crafty Control is pretty easy to get setup, whether you're on Windows or Linux, so even novice server admins can learn how to use this. I found everything to be pretty intuitive, nothing was particularly difficult to get up and running.
