Details

A free, professional-grade admin dashboard for modern Minecraft servers.
AstraControl is not an Essentials replacement - it's a server operations control center that lives inside a GUI (and full command set), giving owners and staff instant answers to:
- What is broken?
- What is lagging?
- What hooks are missing?
- What plugins are loaded?
- What players need attention?
- What configs may be invalid?
- What placeholders work?
- What permissions does a player have?
- Is the server safe to reload or restart?
Features
- Server Health Monitor - TPS, MSPT, memory, uptime, loaded worlds/chunks/entities, platform + Folia detection, all in one screen.
- Plugin Inspector - browse every installed plugin, versions, authors, dependency status, with an optional configured reload action.
- Hook Status - live detection of 14 popular integrations (PlaceholderAPI, LuckPerms, Vault, ProtocolLib, WorldGuard, Citizens, ItemsAdder, Oraxen, Nexo, HeadDatabase, PlayerPoints, ViaVersion, TAB, EssentialsX) - all fully optional.
- Error Watcher - captures warnings/errors from any plugin in real time, deduplicated, with export-to-file.
- Maintenance Mode - toggle, custom reason, bypass permission, persists across restarts, never affects already-online players.
- Broadcast Center - chat, title, actionbar, and bossbar broadcasts with MiniMessage + PlaceholderAPI support.
- Placeholder Tester - raw / plain / MiniMessage / legacy views of any resolved placeholder or text block.
- Permission Debugger - LuckPerms-aware permission and group inspection, with a safe Bukkit-only fallback.
- Online Player Tools - teleport, message, view inventory, run a configured staff command, jump straight into permission/placeholder debugging for a specific player.
- Fully config-driven GUI - every menu's items (material, name, lore, slot, custom-model-data, glow, amount) are defined in
gui.yml, nothing hardcoded. - Full localization - every message in
language/en.yml, MiniMessage formatted, safe against placeholder injection.
Compatibility
- Paper, Spigot, Purpur: 1.18.2+
- Folia: 1.19+ (proper region/global/async scheduler usage, not a bolted-on compatibility shim)
- No dependencies required - every integration above is a soft-dependency.
Commands & Permissions
See the bundled COMMANDS.md and PERMISSIONS.md for the complete, unabridged list.
Data & Privacy
- No DRM.
- No data collection beyond optional, fully anonymous bStats metrics (
metrics.enabledinconfig.yml, on by default, disable anytime). bStats collects no personal data - only standard server/plugin usage stats. - No SQL/HTTP on the main thread, ever.
- Clean console output - a 6-line startup summary by default; verbose diagnostics only with
debug: true.
Support
Free, actively maintained, and built to be a long-term reference implementation of clean Bukkit/Paper/Folia plugin architecture - modular systems, no god classes, no hardcoded messages or layouts.
