Minecraft Server Manager is a free, self-hosted control panel for running Minecraft servers as Docker containers. It is built on top of an existing Docker image for Minecraft servers and aims to match the features of paid or more complex panels like Pterodactyl, Multicraft, and AMP, while staying entirely free and running only on your own machine. The whole panel lives in a single folder, so moving it to a new computer is as simple as copying that folder. The panel covers the full lifecycle of a server: creating, starting, stopping, restarting, and deleting instances, with a guided setup wizard that offers a simple mode for common settings and an advanced mode that exposes every option the underlying Docker image supports, explained in plain language. Modpacks are locked to a specific version when installed so they never silently change, and upgrading a pack goes through a preview, an automatic backup, and a one click rollback if something goes wrong. Mods you add yourself are stored in a shared library and survive pack updates. Beyond the basics, the panel includes a live console with search and command history, player management such as whitelists, bans, and teleporting, scheduled backups and tasks, and a way to export a server as a portable package that can be reimported elsewhere. It also tracks disk usage per server, keeps a history of every action taken, and can automatically detect and explain server crashes. Extra features include an optional live map of the Minecraft world, player statistics and rankings, a readable timeline of chat and game events, tools for inspecting player inventories, Discord notifications, and an assistant that suggests compatible mod and game version combinations based on the mods you want. There is also an optional public status page showing whether a server is online and how many players are connected. The project states it is not affiliated with Pterodactyl, Crafty Controller, or AMP, and is released under the MIT license.
