CraftCommand
The Professional Hybrid Cloud Platform for Java & Bedrock Infrastructure
CraftCommand is a professional-grade orchestrator that bridges the gap between simple local launchers and complex enterprise infrastructure. It provides monolithic management with a distributed data plane, designed to prevent mistakes, explain problems, and scale safely from solo use to massive networks.

</div>Why CraftCommand?
The "Goldilocks" Solution
Most hosting solutions are either too fragile (Basic .bat files) or too complex (Enterprise panels requiring Linux degrees and hours of setup). CraftCommand offers a third way: Hybrid Orchestration.
- Easier than a Batch File: One click to start. No editing text files to fix RAM or Java versions.
- Unified Engine: Native support for Java (Paper, Spigot, Vanilla) and Bedrock Edition (Dedicated Server) with software-aware configurations.
- Simpler than Enterprise: Runs on Windows, installs in seconds, and scales with Zero-Knowledge worker nodes.

The CraftCommand Advantage (v1.12.5)
Why choose CraftCommand instead of Pterodactyl, Crafty, or AMP?
While other platforms focus on being general-purpose containers, CraftCommand is built as a specialized orchestrator with vertical integration for game server lifecycles. We bridge the gap between "One-Click Simple" and "Enterprise Powerful."
1. Dynamic Versioning Manifest
Stop waiting for community "Eggs" or manual manifest updates. CraftCommand features a Self-Healing Version Manifest fetching directly from official Mojang and community Bedrock APIs.
- 2026 Ready: Native, day-zero support for the 26.x year-based versioning standard.
- Pre-flight Validation: Proactively catches "404 Not Found" or "403 Forbidden" errors on Paper/Purpur APIs before download, offering intelligent fallbacks to Vanilla or suggesting stable alternatives.
- Software-Aware Logic: Automatically detects and recommends Java 21+ for the latest releases, ensuring 100% boot success.
2. $O(N)$ Distributed Architecture
Designed for massive scale without the Docker overhead or CPU spikes seen in legacy panels.
- Linear Process Engine: Calculates CPU/RAM/IO metrics for 1,000+ servers in a single $O(N)$ pass, eliminating the $O(N^2)$ lag of nested scanning.
- Reverse-Buffer Log Tailing: Predictable $O(1)$ memory usage. We read logs from the bottom-up using a 64KB reverse-buffer—10GB log files use the same RAM as 10KB files.
- Single-Root File Watching: Massive reduction in OS file handle consumption by consolidating all server watchers into a single optimized root listener.
3. Triple-Layer Mod Stabilization
Stop fighting mod crashes. Our Mod Intelligence Engine ensures your modpacks boot correctly the first time.
- Modrinth API Verifier: Automatically identifies and moves client-side mods to prevent server-side crashes.
- Transitive Dependency Resolver: Scans
fabric.mod.json/mods.tomland auto-installs missing dependencies from Modrinth. - JiJ (Jar-in-Jar) Intelligence: Detects embedded libraries to prevent duplicate mod conflicts at the binary level.
4. Industrial-Grade Security
Your infrastructure is only as safe as its weakest link. We provide mandatory protection for your cluster.
- Native 2FA (TOTP): Full multi-factor authentication with AES-256-CBC encrypted secrets and Bcrypt-hashed recovery codes.
- Session Revocation: View active sessions and perform a Global Logout to instantly invalidate all JWT tokens across the cluster.
- Systems Integrity: Cryptographically signed updates (Ed25519) with SHA256 integrity verification, preventing supply-chain attacks.
5. Sentinel v3: Heuristic Auto-Healing
Scale horizontally without the complexity of deep Docker management or Kubernetes.
- Heuristic Triage Engine: A proactive auto-healing system that performs multi-stage repair (
Triage -> Scrap -> Start -> Verify) on failing instances. - Zombie Adoption: Node agents automatically re-acquire and adopt orphaned processes (Native & Docker) after a system reboot, ensuring 24/7 uptime.
- Distributed Node Orchestration: Enroll remote hosts in seconds using Zero-Knowledge pair-bonding and unified resource telemetry.
Key Differentiators
- Intelligent Diagnosis Engine v3.0: Our heuristic engine identifies over 40 common failure points and suppresses misleading secondary errors (Causality Suppression).
- Cryptographically Secure Updates: Industry-standard Ed25519 signatures and SHA256 integrity verification for every system update.
- Proxy Network Fabric (Velocity Automation): The industry's first "Zero-Config" proxy orchestrator. Native Velocity integration automatically manages internal secrets, forwarding protocols, and
paper-global.ymlsynchronization.
Core Capabilities
1. Global Operations Center (GOC)
The cluster-wide "God View"
- Resource Heatmap: Real-time spatial visualization of CPU/RAM density across the entire cluster with load-aware color coding.
- Environment Health: Integrated prerequisite detection and normalization (Java 8-21, Docker, Git, Permissions).
- One-Click Heuristic Fix: Automatically repair remote node environments directly from the UI using targeted diagnosis.
- Node Capabilities: Instant advertising of host capabilities (OS, Core Count, Virtualization Status).
2. World Intelligence & Telemetry
Deep spatial visibility into your worlds
- Dynmap Integration: Professional one-click installation and verification suite for real-time world maps.
- Viewport Control: Native embedded map viewports with secure proxy-forwarding.
- Remote Render Triggers: Trigger update, full, radius renders directly from the panel.
- Health Handshake: Automated telemetry verification via internal service probes.
3. Proxy Orchestration
High-performance network management
- Native Velocity Support: Full-stack integration with automated secret and
velocity.tomlmanagement. - Via Suite Automation: One-click deployment of the ViaVersion suite (Backwards, Rewind) for multi-version compatibility.
- Forwarding Synchronization: Automated management of modern/legacy forwarding secrets and backend server links.
- Connectivity Mapping: Visual management of server aliases and priority join lists.
4. Resilience & Auto-Healing v3 (Sentinel)
- Sentinel Throttling: Proactive system sentinel that protects the host by throttling recoveries during CPU/RAM/IO overload.
- Drift Detection: Automatic repair of "Zombie" instances (Status ONLINE but PID missing) and orphaned processes.
- Stateful Recovery Pipeline: Multi-stage repair logic (Triage -> Scrap -> Start -> Verify) with stability scoring.
- Safe Mode Protection: Panic control system that isolates failing instances to prevent host exhaustion.
- Graceful Shutdown Protocol: Countdown-based termination with automated in-game warnings and real-time cancellation support.
