The Gelato vanilla server manager for Minecraft

What's Gelato?

Gelato is a straightforward server manager written in Node.js and built specifically for vanilla servers. Its modular design allows for separate aspects of the server to run independently.

What comes out of the box?

• Votifier (WIP)
• Complete extendable API
• ...and more features to come!
