| Spec score · Minecraft Server Control Panels | 8.1 (#8) | 7.2 (#20) |
| Purpose | Aethera is a free, open-source, self-hosted control panel for managing Minecraft game servers. | OPanel is a web-based Minecraft server management panel installed as a server-side plugin or mod. |
| Security | The installer generates a cryptographically random JWT secret and MongoDB password; users can configure their own TLS through a reverse proxy. | The access key is stored as a hash, and the initial access key is randomly generated; the documentation advises deleting its initial-key file after setup. |
