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), Linux, and Mac ( Linux and Mac support done via Python/Pip).
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.

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.
