Helix 1.4.0 is a numbered private-LAN release. Keep it on a network you control. Public-internet exposure is not supported.

The dashboard Update Helix control uses these SHA-256-pinned source assets. It does not use git pull. Game containers are not replaced.

Changed

  • The Ports card matches each game and server software: Paper and other plugin
    servers get Simple Voice Chat, BlueMap, Dynmap, and Geyser presets with the
    right plugins/ config path, mod loaders get the config/ path, and Vanilla,
    Pumpkin, Hytale, and the other games get no Minecraft presets. The game port
    shows its real protocol (for example UDP (QUIC) for Hytale).
  • Server software updates on the Advanced tab are one card with three clear
    choices — update build, change version, or repair files — one confirmation,
    and a result that says what changed. An update that is already current
    returns immediately without a backup or restart.
  • Backups: clearer automatic-cleanup fields, the trash shows its total size,
    when each deleted backup was originally made, a warning past 20 GiB, and an
    Empty trash action. Helix still never empties the trash on its own.
  • Marketplace reads are cached for a minute, so returning to results or
    reopening the tab is instant; installs refresh installed badges.
  • Network lists real interfaces first and folds Docker bridges and loopback.
  • New server shows all games in a compact grid; the Servers list only shows
    filters for games you have.

Fixed

  • The join-address card on a server's Overview laid its LAN, Tailscale, and
    public addresses out in one stretched column because of a CSS selector
    collision; the diagnostics line no longer repeats itself.
  • Spacing around the Ports card and in dialogs (paragraphs no longer run
    together, for example in Remove server).
  • Form fields used the browser's default text size instead of Helix's.
  • A server's Files tab could browse above the server's own folder into other
    servers' data; it now stays inside the server.
  • Helix-managed servers that are stopped were labelled "AMP stopped".
  • Paper servers showed their software twice ("Paper Paper 26.2").
  • Security showed raw probe values for AppArmor and Fail2ban.
  • Hook buttons said "Stoping…".
