Paper Web Console

Paper Web Console is a plugin for PaperMC that exposes your server console in a browser through a lightweight built-in web interface.

It is designed to stay simple and practical:

• view recent and live console output from logs/latest.log
• send console commands from the browser after authentication
• run with an embedded web server and bundled static assets
• keep setup easy for private server or LAN administration

Features

• Live console streaming over WebSocket
• Recent console history for newly connected clients
• First-run setup flow with a one-time setup token
• PBKDF2 password hashing
• Session handling with client IP binding
• Same-origin protection for non-GET requests and WebSocket upgrades
• Per-IP login rate limiting
• Browser-based command input with multiline paste support
• Mobile-friendly terminal-style UI
• Reconnect, clear, wrap, and logout controls

Requirements

• Java 21
• A Paper server compatible with Minecraft 1.21.x

Installation

1. Download the plugin jar
2. Place it in your server plugins/ folder
3. Start or restart the server
4. Check the server log for the web console address and setup token

On first startup, the plugin prints a setup URL in the console. Open it once to create the shared admin password.
