Console and commands
Console streams the server log and sends commands to the running Minecraft process. Use it for startup errors, admin commands, saves, and quick recovery checks.
When to use Console
Find startup errors
Open Console after a restart to see missing mods, bad properties, world load errors, or plugin failures.
Run admin commands
Send commands directly without joining the server in-game.
Running commands
- Open the server and choose Console.
- Wait for the log stream to connect.
- Type the command without a leading slash.
- Press Send and watch the response in the log.

Availability
Console only works when the server process can be reached. It is unavailable while a server is parked, suspended, still provisioning, or deleted.
If the console disconnects
Reload the page to reconnect. If the server itself stopped, open Overview and start it again, then return to Console.
