StaffHQ, Staff Management Dashboard for Minecraft Networks

StaffHQ is a hosted staff management platform for Minecraft servers. Install the plugin on your server, connect it to your dashboard at dash.staffhq.net, and get full visibility into server health, staff activity, and player behaviour across your entire network.

The plugin is free and open source under the MIT license. A StaffHQ subscription is required to use the dashboard. A 7-day free trial is available with no card required.

What the plugin does

The plugin runs as a lightweight background process on your server. It collects activity data and forwards it to your private dashboard. No processing happens on StaffHQ infrastructure beyond storage and presentation.
