How to Access the Server Console
Run commands, read logs, and debug crashes, all from the panel console.
Introduction
The Console is the live output of your server process and a command input. Everything important happens here.
Anatomy of the Console
- Top bar, server status, RAM/CPU, start/stop/restart buttons
- Middle, scrolling log output (last 1000 lines)
- Bottom, command input box
Running Commands
- 1Click in the command input
- 2Type a command, no leading slash required
- 3Press Enter
- 4The result appears in the log
All in-game commands work in console (op, gamemode, time, weather, etc.) plus admin-only ones like stop and reload.

Reading the Log
[INFO], normal activity[WARN], something to investigate but not broken[ERROR], something failed, copy the stack trace[FATAL], server about to crash
Tip: Use the Up Arrow key to recall previous commands. Tab autocompletes player names.
Warning: Don't paste random commands from random forums. /restart, /stop, and /op are real commands with real effects.
Old Logs
Logs older than the visible window live in /logs/ (Minecraft), open File Manager to view archived .log.gz files.
