Minecraft Control Center v1.0.0

The first public release of Minecraft Control Center - a standalone Windows app for
managing a Crafty-based Minecraft setup from one place.

Changes in this release

  • Converted the original server control script into a maintainable standalone app.
  • Added installed and portable distribution modes.
  • Removed dependencies on the app's placement and added automatic discovery for
    Crafty, PlayIt, Prism Launcher, and TLauncher.
  • Added remembered, user-editable provider locations under
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\MinecraftControlCenter.
  • Added a common provider contract for installation, running state, start, stop, and
    status handling.
  • Refined the launcher row so the selected launcher appears as the program, with a
    seamless dropdown shown only when multiple launchers are detected.
  • Added secure GitHub Releases updates with checksum validation, automatic restart,
    UAC support, atomic replacement, and rollback.
  • Added application uninstall support for installed and portable copies.
  • Added repeatable builds for the standalone executable, portable ZIP, checksum, and
    Inno Setup installer.
  • Kept live server worlds, logs, backups, credentials, and browser data out of release
    packages.

Features

  • Start and stop Crafty, PlayIt, your Minecraft launcher, and Minecraft.
  • Start or stop the complete setup with one button.
  • Automatically detect Crafty, PlayIt, Prism Launcher, and TLauncher.
  • Remember detected locations in an editable configuration file.
  • Detect local Crafty Minecraft servers and their game ports.
  • Open and sign in to the Crafty dashboard.
  • Create custom Windows shortcuts.
  • Check for and install future updates from GitHub.
  • Uninstall installed or portable copies directly from the app.

Reliability and safety

  • Self-contained .NET 8 application - no separate .NET installation required.
  • Application files can be installed or extracted anywhere.
  • App settings and browser data are stored separately under
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\MinecraftControlCenter.
  • Update downloads are verified using SHA-256 checksums.
  • Updates use atomic replacement and automatic rollback on failure.
  • Single-instance protection prevents conflicting app and configuration writes.
  • Uninstall removes only Minecraft Control Center files and its recorded shortcuts.
  • Crafty, PlayIt, launchers, servers, worlds, logs, and credentials are preserved.

Supported providers

  • Server manager: Crafty
  • Connection: PlayIt
  • Launchers: Prism Launcher and TLauncher

For a normal Windows installation, download and run:

This is the initial v1.0.0 release. Feedback and issue reports are welcome.

Coming in the next major release

The next major release is planned to add a compatibility matrix so you can clearly
see which server managers, remote-connection providers, and game launchers are
available and supported. The current roadmap includes:

Component Planned choices
Server manager Crafty Controller, AMP, direct .jar server
Remote connection Playit, direct port forwarding, Tailscale
Game launcher Prism, official Minecraft Launcher, Modrinth App, ATLauncher
Later additions PufferPanel, Pterodactyl, GDLauncher, CurseForge

These plans may change as compatibility work and testing progress.
