I'm working on something to help you update (or install) servers

This project I'm working on can help you set up a brand new or existing VPS and have it ready for Minecraft hosting.

It can auto configure:

  • UFW ports
  • Caddyfile
  • systemd services
  • mod configs
  • Key only SSH (optional by providing a public key)

all if you install Geyser, Simple Voice Chat, BlueMap..etc with the tool.

Upgrading a server

  • Detects installed mods and updates them with your server (modrinth)

Works by simply pointing to a folder with Minecraft servers and then selecting an existing server.

Tool currently handles all MC versions from 1.20.1 to 26.2 (I could go lower) and has support for fabric, neoforge, forge, quilt and vanilla servers. Im hoping this project helps people get into more DIY server hosting or maybe save some money instead of giving it to dedicated MC hosts. The tool comes with hopefully clear instructions and guided selection screens. Still unsure? just click ok through the safe defaults.

If you are savvy enough, the tool can run headlessly, fully with arguments / flags. So you can automate server creation or updating with it.

(working on adding features for removing servers and also installing mods into existing servers)

Keep your ducks in order and your builds safe.

---

Tameable Ducks, Simple Voice Chat, Abilities, Chest Shops, PvE, Keep inventory, End-Resets..etc

12 RPG Skills with active abilities

  • Silk-touch mob spawners (sneak + Q on a spawner)
  • Tree Feller (chain-break an entire tree)
  • Dash (sprint + jump + sneak for a velocity boost)
  • Scout Zoom (spyglass-style zoom + nearby mobs glow)
  • Arcane Infusion (repair your held item on the spot)

and much more

Thing's I've made:

  1. Better Beacons with custom pyramid types and long distance effects. Build Bookshelf pyramids!
  2. Nearby Inventories lets you craft with nearby chests by clicking the recipe book or use /stash command to dump items into nearby inventories.
  3. Simple Trading allows GUI trading with players.
  4. QuackedMod also known as Ducky Quack Pack is the only client sided mod my server requires (neoforge).

SMP Features:

Chest Shops that are player run. We also have spawn shops for creative items.

Chunk Claims that actually protect your stuff. Explosions, fire, lava, PvP, entity damage all blocked. /sos ejects intruders. /claim map shows who owns what. /trust your friends!

Custom Dimensions. use a water bucket to light a Glowstone portal frame and find out :)

Hardcore Sessions. Anyone can start a password-protected hardcore run. Fresh inventories, random spawn. You can leave and come back to any hardcore session whenever you want. Spectate when dead until you group wins or leave the session.

Anti-XRay. Server-side ore obfuscation.

Daily Kits / Keep Inventory (per-player toggle)

Teleportation (/home/spawn/tpr/tpa)

VIP ranks earned through playtime. No pay-to-win. Just play and you unlock extra perks like bonus claim chunks and exclusive kits.

More features

  • Ender Dragon reset button in spawn.
  • Keep Inventory is optionally on per player.
  • Custom Blue Map features (homes appear on map, and you can name your town!)
  • Download the world whenever you want!

The Server

  • 16GB RAM, AMD EPYC CPU
  • Backups every 4 hours
  • No world resets. Your builds are permanent.
  • End resets and "wilderness regen"* available (claims are always protected)

> Wilderness gets occasional regeneration so unclaimed land stays fresh.

Rules (I'm the only staff)

  1. No griefing, theft, or drama
  2. Voice chat is 18+
  3. Keep chat friendly
  4. Full rules in-game: /rules
  5. Quack Responsibly

Spawn was built by commissioned builders. Castles, shops, nether hub.
