Amazing, stylish minecraft server control panel. Very easy to set up and use compared to other alternatives. I very much like the fact that it is open source and has no player limits and/or server limits unlike other alternatives.

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.

When I moved to Linux, I looked long and hard for a good alternative to BukkitGUI. Crafty is the only application with the features that allow me to run my Minecraft server. The developer is responsive to their discord, and several requested features have been added.
