ServerPilot is a modern Windows desktop application built with Electron and React that turns managing a local Minecraft server into a single-click experience. Whether you’re running Paper, Fabric, Forge, or Vanilla, ServerPilot handles server lifecycle, live monitoring, player tracking, file management, and public tunneling via Playit.gg — all from one polished interface.

Installation

Download the Windows installer or portable EXE and get ServerPilot running in minutes.

Quickstart

Set up Java, download a server JAR, and launch your first Minecraft server end-to-end.

Features

Explore the Dashboard, Console, Players, File Manager, Properties editor, and Backups.

Configuration

Tune global settings, per-server options, and JVM arguments to fit your setup.

​
What ServerPilot Does

ServerPilot replaces the manual workflow of launching batch files, watching raw terminal output, and editing config files in Notepad. Everything you need to run a local Minecraft server is built into one app:

One-Click Start/Stop

Launch your server and Playit.gg tunnel simultaneously. Stop gracefully or force-kill when needed.

Live Monitoring

Real-time CPU, RAM, TPS, uptime, player count, and process ID — updated every second.

Integrated Console

Stream server logs in a dark-themed terminal and send commands like op, say, or stop directly.

Player Tracking

See who is online, track chat, deaths, advancements, commands, and kicks from server logs.

File Manager

Browse your server folder and edit any text file using the built-in Monaco Editor.

Backup & Restore

ZIP your entire world with one click and restore from any previous backup instantly.
