Server Console

The console gives you direct access to your server's terminal. View logs, run commands, and troubleshoot issues in real-time.

Accessing the Console

1. Go to your server dashboard
2. Click the Console tab in the sidebar
3. The terminal window will load with recent logs

Console Interface

Log Output

The main area displays server output:

• Server startup messages - Configuration and initialization
• Player activity - Joins, disconnects, chat (game-dependent)
• Command output - Results from commands you run
• Errors and warnings - Issues that need attention

Logs are color-coded:

• White - Normal output
• Yellow - Warnings
• Red - Errors

Command Input

At the bottom, you'll find the command input field:

1. Type your command (without prefix like /)
2. Press Enter to send
3. View the output in the log area

Running Commands

How to Run Commands

1. Click the command input field
2. Type your command
3. Press Enter

Most game commands work without a prefix. For example:

• Minecraft: Type say Hello instead of /say Hello
• The leading slash is added automatically

Command History

Press the Up Arrow key to cycle through previous commands. This saves time when running similar commands repeatedly.

Common Command Examples

Commands vary by game, but here are typical examples:

Server Management:

save-all        # Save the world
stop            # Gracefully stop the server

Player Management:

list            # Show online players
kick [player]   # Remove a player from the server
ban [player]    # Ban a player permanently

World Commands:

time set day    # Change time to day
weather clear   # Clear the weather

Console Features

Auto-Scroll

The console automatically scrolls to show new output. Click anywhere in the log area to pause auto-scroll, then click the "Scroll to bottom" button to resume.

Copy Output

Select text in the console and copy it to share error messages or logs with support.

Clear Console

Click the clear button to remove all visible logs. This only clears your view - server logs are still saved.

Permission Requirements

Console access depends on your permission level:

Troubleshooting

Console Not Loading

1. Check your internet connection
2. Refresh the page
3. Try a different browser
4. Clear browser cache

Commands Not Working

1. Server offline - Start the server first
2. Wrong syntax - Check the command format
3. No permission - You need Write or Admin access
4. Game limitation - Some commands only work in certain contexts

Excessive Errors in Console

If you see many errors:

1. Take a screenshot or copy the error messages
2. Check if the errors started after a specific change
3. Review recent file modifications
4. Restore from a backup if needed
5. Contact support with the error details

Console Disconnected

If the console disconnects:

1. The page will show a "Reconnecting" message
2. Wait a few seconds for automatic reconnection
3. If it doesn't reconnect, refresh the page
4. Check if the server is still running

Best Practices

• Make backups before running commands that modify data
• Test commands on a test server first when possible
• Read documentation for your game's specific commands
• Monitor output after running commands for errors
• Keep logs by copying important output for reference
