Helix 1.4.0
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
rightplugins/config path, mod loaders get theconfig/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when each deleted backup was originally made, a warning past 20 GiB, and an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…".
