How to Use the Server Console
Start, stop and restart your server, run commands, and watch what it's doing from the panel's Console.
Console is the first page you see when you open a server. It shows the server's live output and lets you control it.
Power buttons
| Button | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start | Starts the server |
| Restart | Stops it cleanly, then starts it again |
| Stop | Saves the world and stops the server |
| Kill | Stops it at once, without saving. Only use it if Stop hangs |
Warning
Running commands
Type a command in the box at the bottom and press Enter. Leave out the /: type op Steve, not /op Steve.
Reading the output
The console shows what the server prints as it runs. The newest lines are at the bottom. When something goes wrong, the useful line is often a little above the end: look for ERROR, Exception or Caused by.
The full log is saved in logs/latest.log in Files.
Usage graphs
The graphs show CPU, memory, disk and network use. Memory near your plan's limit, or CPU pinned at the top, is a sign the server needs more resources or fewer plugins and mods.
Tip
Open the console in a new window with the button above it, and keep it beside your game while you test changes.
