| Spec score · Minecraft Server Control Panels | 8.8 (#2) | 7.1 (#24) |
| Access controls | Users can be assigned roles that limit access to selected servers and options such as commands, terminal, logs, backups, files, configuration, and player controls. | It supports sub-admin accounts with role-based permissions for files, backups, power controls and console commands. |
| API | Crafty publishes an API v2 reference and links an OpenAPI specification for the endpoints. | The backend provides REST endpoints for authentication, server control, files, backups, plugins and user management. |
| Backups | The interface includes server backup management and backup downloads. | Backups can be scheduled with cron expressions, restored with one click, and compressed into password-protected archives; built-in cloud providers are Buzzheavier and GoFile. |
| File manager | Crafty includes browser-based viewing and editing of server files. | The file manager supports drag-and-drop uploads, editing with Monaco, ZIP/TAR/7Z/RAR extraction, and chunked uploads. |
| License | Crafty Controller is released under the GNU General Public License v3, with source available for inspection and modification. | The repository is MIT-licensed and says it may be used for personal or commercial projects. |
| Monitoring | The documentation lists Open-Metrics (Prometheus) among its server management features. | WebSocket-powered statistics include CPU, RAM, storage, and network bandwidth. |
| Purpose | Crafty Controller is a free, open-source Minecraft server launcher and manager with a self-hosted web interface. | Obsidian Panel is a self-hosted web panel for managing a Minecraft server, including files, backups, server properties, and real-time performance monitoring. |
| Security | The maker says Crafty uses Argon2 password hashing, defaults to an SSL certificate secured web server, and stores data locally on the self-hosted machine. | The README lists configurable IP rate limits, bcrypt password hashing, session tokens, path traversal prevention, and MongoDB-backed sessions with secure cookies. |
