Anything you can do in the panel, Noddy does for you
Noddy isn't a chatbot that just tells you where to click. It has the same buttons you have in the game panel, and it actually uses them. Whatever you can do in the panel, Noddy does for you automatically:
- Server power. Starting, stopping and restarting your server, and force-stopping it when it's frozen.
- Modpacks. Installing a modpack such as RLCraft, All the Mods, Create or Better Minecraft with the right loader and version, then restarting your server.
- Plugins and mods. Finding, installing, updating and removing plugins and mods, for example EssentialsX, LuckPerms, WorldEdit, Geyser or CoreProtect.
- Player management. Banning, unbanning and kicking players, adding them to or removing them from the whitelist, making them an operator (op), setting their game mode or giving them items.
- Console commands. Running any command, such as
say,time set day,weather clearortp, and reporting the result back right away. - Minecraft version and server type. Switching to a newer or older version, or from Paper to Fabric, Forge or NeoForge.
- Worlds. Uploading a world via a link or .zip, unpacking and setting it up, creating a new world with a seed of your choice or resetting your world.
- Backups. Creating, restoring and cleaning up backups.
- Settings. Difficulty, game mode, PvP, hardcore, max players, MOTD, view distance and other settings in
server.propertiesand your config files. - Files. Viewing, reading, editing, uploading, renaming, unpacking and deleting files and folders.
- Crashes and errors. Reading the console and logs, figuring out why your server won't start or keeps crashing, and fixing the problem, for example by removing a broken plugin or changing the Java version.
- Schedules. Automatically restarting your server or creating a backup at set times.
- Databases. Creating a MySQL database for plugins that need one.
- Questions and advice. How much RAM you need, how to let your friends join, which plugin to use for something: Noddy explains it and sets it up right away.
