FancyPanel 1.0.0

The first stable release of FancyPanel — a free, self-hosted web control panel for your Minecraft server. No Pterodactyl, no third-party hosting dashboard, no paywalls.

Drop the plugin in, open your server's IP in a browser, and you've got a full control panel: live console, real-time performance graphs, power controls, a file manager, server configuration, and a plugin installer — all running from inside the server itself.

Requirements

• Server software: Paper (or a Paper fork — Purpur, Pufferfish, DivineMC, Leaves, Canvas, etc.)
• Minecraft version: 1.21.1+
• Java: 21 or newer

Installation

1. Download FancyPanel.jar from this release.
2. Drop it into your server's plugins/ folder.
3. Start (or restart) your server.
4. Open http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:PORT in a browser and log in.

Your panel password and access options live in fancypanel.yml, generated automatically on first launch — check the console output after your first boot for the default login details.

What's in 1.0.0

Dashboard

• 🖥️ Live Console — real-time log streaming with full ANSI color support, plus a command input for anyone with the right permissions.
• 📊 Real-Time Stats — CPU, memory, storage, TPS, and player count, with live rolling charts.
• ⚡ Power Controls — start, restart, or kill the server from the browser.

Server

• 📁 File Manager — browse, upload, download, and delete files, with a built-in Monaco code editor (syntax highlighting included) for anything not covered by the config editor below.
• ⚙️ Configuration Editor — auto-detects known config files for your server, its software, and installed plugins. .properties, .conf, .yml/.yaml, and .xml files open in a friendly inline editor with toggles for booleans and text fields for everything else, instead of dropping you into a raw text editor. JSON files (and anything unrecognized) still open in the Monaco editor, since JSON is typically used for data rather than human-tunable config.
• ℹ️ Information — network, software, and Java/JVM details about the machine and server running the panel.
• 🧩 Plugin Installer — search and install plugins from Modrinth without leaving the browser. Pick a platform (Paper, Purpur, Spigot, Bukkit, Folia, etc. — mod loaders like Forge/NeoForge/Fabric and proxy software like Velocity/Waterfall/BungeeCord are filtered out, since they don't apply here) and then a version, with file size and compatibility shown before you confirm.
• 🔌 Plugin Manager — see every plugin sitting in plugins/, loaded or not, with quick actions.

Administration (Owner only)

• 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Player Manager — see who's online, change game mode, op/de-op, and kick players.
• 🔐 Sub-Users — everyone signs in with the same panel password; a sub-user just gives someone a name to log in with, so their session comes back with a specific permission tier instead of Owner.
• 📜 Activity Manager — a timeline of every action taken through the panel, by any user or sub-user, most recent first.

Permission Tiers

Known Limitations

• The .yml/.yaml config editor only edits simple one-line scalar values (key: value). Lists, flow collections ([...]/{...}), and multi-line block scalars are intentionally left untouched — those still need the Monaco editor.
• The Configuration tab's auto-detection covers well-known server/software files and one level deep into each plugin's own data folder; deeply nested plugin configs need to be opened manually via the custom path field or the File Manager.
