What is Crafty?
Crafty is a Minecraft Server Wrapper / Controller / Launcher. The purpose of Crafty is to launch a Minecraft server in the background and present a web interface for the admin to use to interact with their server. Crafty is compatible with Windows (7, 8, 10) and Linux (via Python).
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. One of the most secure password hashers around.
- SQLite DB used for settings and other data storage.
- Adminlte used for web templating.
- Font Awesome 4 used for Buttons and other graphical things.
How does this all work?
Crafty is launched via the command line, normally via a bat or sh script. Crafty will then automatically start a Tornado web server on the back end, as well as your Minecraft server if auto-start is enabled. You can remotely manage your server via the web interface, either on a PC, or on your phone. Logins are secure and use the most advanced web security models available.
What do I get?
With Crafty, you get a beautiful dashboard as well as several other views that allow you to gain insight into your server, how it’s performing, as well as ease of maintenance.
