Software Resource TailCraft — a free, source-available GUI launcher that opens a Minecraft server in one click (no port forwarding)

0 Upvotes

Thanks to the mod team for allowing a repost after I made it source-available.

TailCraft is a free Windows GUI launcher for hosting a Minecraft server for friends without the usual setup pain — no port forwarding, no manual Java install, no digging through server jars.

What it does

- Run one EXE → pick a language (EN/KO) → an 8-step tutorial walks you to a running server.

- Server types: Paper, Purpur, Folia, Fabric, NeoForge, Forge, and Arclight (Bukkit plugins on a modded server). Versions/builds load automatically; the right Java (8/17/21/25) is installed for you.

- Connect 3 ways: Tailscale (no port forwarding), port forwarding (with UPnP), or LAN. Folia is port-forward-only by design.

- Live dashboard (CPU/RAM/disk/players), Modrinth mod & plugin manager, player tools (whitelist/OP/kick/ban, nickname+IP), console with quick-commands, a separate event-log tab, and one-click diagnostics.

On the concerns raised last time

- Source-available: the full source (launcher.ps1 + lib/core.ps1, the Go EXE wrapper, PDF build scripts) is on GitHub so anyone can audit it. The license keeps modification/redistribution restricted, but reading and auditing is the whole point.

- No bundled third-party software. No server jar, Java, or Tailscale client is included. Everything is downloaded at runtime from official sources (PaperMC, FabricMC, NeoForged, Forge, Modrinth, Adoptium, Tailscale) at the user's choice — so I'm not redistributing Tailscale or anything else.

- Integrity check: the EXE verifies the SHA-256 of its bundled script at launch and refuses to run if tampered with. The official hash is published in the README so you can verify your download with certutil.

Unofficial tool, not affiliated with Mojang/Microsoft/Tailscale/PaperMC/etc. Windows 10/11.

Help/Question Is my laptop good enough to host an All the Mods 9 server for 4–5 players?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I want to host an All the Mods 9 (ATM9, the regular version) Minecraft server on my laptop, while playing on my separate gaming PC.

My laptop specs:

  • CPU: Intel Core 7 150U (10 cores, 12 threads)
  • RAM: 16GB DDR5
  • Storage: 512GB SSD

The laptop will only run the server, not the Minecraft client.

I'm planning to allocate around 12GB of RAM to the server and have 4–5 players playing together.

My questions:

  1. Is this CPU powerful enough to run ATM9 smoothly with 4–5 players?
  2. Will 8GB of RAM be enough for the server?
  3. What kind of performance should I expect during exploration and when players build large automated farms?
  4. What settings or optimizations would you recommend?
  5. Would I need a more powerful CPU, or is my current laptop good enough?

I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has hosted ATM9 on similar hardware. Thanks!

Help/Question How do i make a server hub for my server?

0 Upvotes

Right now I have multiverse core and made a hub in a super flat world, I used essentials to set the spawn point to the hub, I have citizens npc's to teleport you to different worlds. How would I fix this to where if you did /spawn it puts you to the survival spawn, but also make another command like /hub to teleport you to the hub?

Discussion Your experience on RPG/MMORPG servers

2 Upvotes

Since Ivw been planning to create a server like this (or at least a system/plugin for it for others) for months now, Id like to know if there are people here who actually play on (MMO)/RPG servers. If so, what do you like the most? Is it a certain feature? The story? The quests? Or something that no other RPG servers have?

For example, my current plan includes a main story written (by a person) that spans several pages in Word, and Im still working on it because its very complex and really hard to create a story (features, quests, etc.) that makes sense.

I just want to hear your thoughts on this specific category.
