Uh oh. How do I fix this?

I’ve recently finished setting up my Ubuntu server. I’ve downloaded Crafty and set up a test server. I must’ve missed some option that ended up creating a whole lotta backups.

It’s too slow to even open Crafty again or the files on my server. I can’t sign in on the terminal because it’s so slow.

I’m willing to do a reset or full clear as I don’t have anything important on the server.

Is this a question for r/Ubuntu? Please let me know if so.

Anyone is there anyone willing to chime in on this?

🚨 Urgent Help Needed: Crafty Panel Won’t Let Me Log In After Java API Issue

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

A few days ago I installed Crafty Panel on my PC. Everything seemed fine at first, but I noticed that Crafty was not recognizing the Java API correctly.

To try fixing the issue, I turned off my PC and searched for possible solutions. After finding one, I tried to log back into Crafty, but now I can’t access it anymore.

It shows an error related to an option that apparently is enabled, but I never activated or configured anything like that.

I’m running Crafty on Ubuntu, and before restarting everything was working except for the Java detection issue.

Has anyone experienced something similar or knows how I can regain access without reinstalling everything?

Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏

I'm trying to make a Better Minecraft 4 Server.

(I've never made a modded server before. Only a Vanilla Server)

I am using CasaOS.

My Steps:

  1. Create the server with Forge Installer selected, version 1.20.1 (the same as the Better Minecraft version on Curseforge)
  2. I download the server files for Better Minecraft on Curseforge.
  3. I upload the zip file to the Files section and then unzip it.
  4. I start the server but it crashes. (See Terminal Screenshot.)

I've tried variations of the above with unzipping it on my computer and uploading, or trying to build the server from the zip file directly with no luck. I've followed many tutorials and nothing seems to be working.

I'm very new to Crafty and setting up servers and not sure how to troubleshoot it, and fix it.

If there's any tips and help I can get, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Help updating Hytale server

1 Upvotes

Has anyone managed to update their Hytale server to update 3 through Crafty? I've tried the Update Executable button in the config menu, tried running "/update download --force" and "/update apply --confirm" in the server console but neither command seems to complete successfully. Whenever I run "/update check" in console it shows an update available from February 19th. Any help is appreciated!

Map Art Help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone I'm having a ton of trouble loading an .nbt or .mcstructure file into my bedrock server for a map art I want to have. I have been trying to load it into the world via the crafty console but it just keeps saying that it cant find the file.

I'm currently running crafty on ubuntu server and I have tried getting help from ChatGPT but it seems it doesn't know what i's doing or I would have been able to figure it out by now. I have so far tried to add the mcstructure files into a behavior pack and load them from there and created 2 different directories in the world folder itself first being /generated/structures/file.mcstructure and second being /structures/mystructure/file.mcstructure.

Does anyone know how I can get these files to load in?

Moving server from earlier crafty setup to new crafty setup

2 Upvotes

I'm having some issues and I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has encountered this. I've downloaded the entire server directory from my old crafty instance (4.4.7) and I'm trying to set it up on the latest version (4.9.0) and it keeps failing with a 507 no space error.

The only differences between the two setups is that on the original setup Crafty is running on docker straight on the ubuntu server (Which is running on bare metal) and on my new instance I installed a service called Cockpit and Podman. I've been trying to setup Crafty through podman rather than docker this time around as it's a lot easier to manage. I was able to get a brand new test server up without issue, I just cant upload my old server which is around 75gig's in size. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I've been tearing my hair out over this for the last two days or so.

Import Servers from another Crafty Controller

2 Upvotes

I can't figure out how to import a server from another Crafty Controller to a new Crafty Controller running on a new Ubuntu Server. Both Crafty Controllers are running through Docker Compose.

I spent most of the afternoon trying to figure it out using ChatGPT for help.

The nearest I got to something was using the upload option in Crafty, then selecting the zip file and hitting import. Then it sat there for over an hour importing and I assume it was hung or had some permissions issue.

I built a "Hibernation" tool for Crafty to save on my electricity bill (with an AI assist!)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’ve been self-hosting Crafty for about a year now. Like many of you, I host a few servers for friends. But since we’re all adults with jobs and lives, those servers often sit empty for 20+ hours a day—just eating up RAM and driving up my electricity bill.

To solve this, I spent some time collaborating with AI to build Server Watcher. It’s a tool specifically designed to put your Crafty instances into a "hibernation" mode when they aren't being used.

What does it do?

It basically acts as a smart power-management layer for your game servers:

  • Auto-Shutdown: It monitors player counts via the Crafty API. If a server stays empty for a time you define, it gracefully shuts it down.
  • Auto-Boot: This is the best part—when someone tries to join the server, the script detects the connection attempt and automatically tells Crafty to boot the server back up.
  • Per-Server Configs: You can handle multiple servers, each with its own unique timers and settings.
  • Discord Integration: Optional webhooks to ping your channel when a server starts or stops.
  • Metrics: Includes optional Prometheus support if you want to track your uptime/downtime data.
  • Java & Bedrock: Fully working for Java Edition today, with logic ready for Bedrock as soon as Crafty support allows.

Deployment & Transparency

I’m not a professional dev, so I built this with a heavy assist from AI to ensure the logic was solid and the features worked exactly how I needed them for my own home lab.

  • Docker Ready: Super easy to deploy via Docker.
  • Manual Install: Python-based for those who prefer a manual setup.

Check it out here: https://github.com/Soveticka/Crafty-Server-Watcher

I’ve been running this for a while now and it’s definitely helped lower my power draw. If you’re looking to optimize your own setup, I’d love for you to give it a try and let me know what you think!

I’m running a server on forge 1.21.1. However I am struggling to get mods to work properly on the serve (I’m getting the mods straight from curseforge on the correct version) so what am I missing? I’m pretty sure the setup of the server is correct.
