SpawnLoft, a control panel for local Minecraft servers
An open-source Windows app for starting, monitoring, updating, backing up, and scheduling Minecraft servers on your own PC.
Field notes
The application organizes each server into a card with a readable, searchable console and separate views for plugins, worlds, backups, players, performance, scheduling, and settings. Plugin discovery searches Modrinth and Hangar together, while updates are checked against the server version and preceded by a snapshot. Backups flush the world before capture, can run nightly with retention limits, and are verified by reading them back end to end. Current Minecraft use requires Java 25 on Windows 10/11.
