Fabricator

Console

The Console page shows recent Minecraft server output and lets you send commands to a running server.

Reading logs

Section titled “Reading logs”

Fabricator captures stdout and stderr from the managed Minecraft process. The backend returns a bounded tail so the browser can show recent output without loading large log files.

If the server is not running, the logs endpoint returns an empty/not-running response rather than reading historical files from disk.

Sending commands

Section titled “Sending commands”

Use the command input to send Minecraft console commands. Do not include a leading slash; send commands as the server console would receive them, for example:

say Server restart in 5 minutes
whitelist list
save-all

Fabricator writes the command to the running process stdin. If no process is registered for the server, the API returns an error.

Safe operation tips

Section titled “Safe operation tips”
  • Confirm you selected the correct server in the sidebar before sending destructive commands.
  • Use save-all before manual maintenance when you are not sure whether autosave is current.
  • Prefer the Players page for whitelist, op, ban, and kick workflows; it validates names and handles stopped-server file edits where needed.
  • Prefer the Backups page before large config or mod changes.
Section titled “Related endpoints”
  • GET /api/servers/<server_id>/logs?limit=200
  • POST /api/servers/<server_id>/console
