Most of Crafty's configuration and management is done via the Web Console which is started in the background. Access to the console is required to be done over HTTPS to allow for encrypted transactions.

To connect to your console, you will need to use a browser such as chrome to access the website on the port you chose for Crafty to run on (default port is 8000). Assuming you are on the same system as Crafty, you can access the site via https://localhost:8000 or https://127.0.0.1:8000. Use the username and the password given to you by the installer (both are cAsE-sEnSiTivE). If you have forgotten your password, you can change it by running set_passwd [username] The default username is Admin.

Dashboard

After logging into the console, you should be presented with the Crafty Dashboard. There is a lot of data here, so let’s start top left and work our way across.

Usage Stats

The first thing you should notice is the 4 boxes at the top CPU, Memory, Disk, and Servers. These are the usage statistics of your host computer as a whole, not the resources only Crafty is using. The server count is the number of Minecraft servers you have set up in Crafty.

Server Details

Below the four main usage stats at the top of the page, you should see a box that takes up about 1/8 of the screen. This is the server details area which shows if a server is running by showing a green background or stopped by showing a red background. This will also tell you if your server has crashed. Additionally, the server version, message of the day (MOTD), and other stats are here including the server start time.

Create New Server

Starting from Crafty 3.0, there is multi-server support. To the right of the server details, you should see the create new server dropdown menu, which gives you the same questions as when you first set up crafty. This allows you to create another server and control it through the same dashboard, unlike many alternatives.

Server Control Buttons

There are 3 buttons adjacent to the server name, these do not disappear when you collapse the box. The 3 buttons are used to start, stop, and restart the server.
