Minecraft Server Tools
Free utilities for Paper and Spigot server owners — setup configs, size hosting, diagnose network issues, format listing text, and look up player UUIDs. 27 tools across six categories.
Setting up a new server
First-time Paper/Spigot setup — config file, MOTD, JVM flags, cron jobs.
Sizing and performance
Before you buy hosting or when players report lag.
Players and whitelist
Look up UUIDs, build whitelist.json, offline-mode IDs.
Network diagnostics
Is the server reachable? Can votes and RCON get through?
Text and listings
Scoreboards, tablist headers, server descriptions, hex colors.
Everything else
Converters, coords, icons, diagrams.
Who uses Minecraft server admin tools
First-time VPS owners use server.properties, MOTD, and Aikar flags before opening to players. Experienced admins use port checker and RCON when migrating hosts. Server list owners use icon resizer and description formatter before submitting listings.
All tools run in the browser unless noted. Network tools send requests from our infrastructure to your hostname.

Frequently asked questions
What tools do Minecraft server owners need most?
New setup: server.properties, MOTD, Aikar flags. Before hosting purchase: RAM and requirements calculators. After launch: status checker, port checker, whitelist creator. For listings: icon resizer and description formatter.
Are these Minecraft server tools free?
Yes — no account required for most tools. Network tools use rate limiting and Turnstile to prevent abuse.
Do tools work for Paper, Spigot, and vanilla?
Most target Java Edition Paper/Spigot/vanilla. Bedrock-specific setup differs — individual tool pages note Java-only cases.
Which tool checks if my server is online?
Server status checker runs full Minecraft ping — players, MOTD, version. Port checker only tests TCP 25565 open, not game protocol response.
How many tools are on this page?
27 free utilities across setup, hosting, network diagnostics, player lookup, formatting, and converters — all linked from categories above.
Do I need to install plugins to use these tools?
No. Tools run in the browser or via our API for network checks. Nothing installs on your Minecraft server.
Can I suggest a new tool?
