Roadmap

What's shipped and what's planned for Minepanel. Current stable line: v1.10.8.

This page tracks intent, not guarantees. Priorities shift with community feedback, technical constraints, and available time.

---

Shipped

Already available in the current stable line.

✅ Roles & access control

• ADMIN and USER roles
• Per-user permissions: server access, logs vs console, global vs per-server files
• manageUsers delegated permission
• Invitation links with optional SMTP delivery
• Filterable audit log (logins, invitations, password/email changes, server actions, console commands)

✅ World Library & Discover Worlds

• Per-server world source library and a shared library for all servers
• World switching from folders (level.dat) and archives (.zip, .tar, .tar.gz, .tgz)
• Discover Worlds: search CurseForge worlds and import remote ZIP/TAR URLs

✅ Multi-language

• 8 languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Portuguese

✅ Mods & plugins

• In-panel search and install for Modrinth and CurseForge (mods, plugins, modpacks)
• Modrinth dependency resolution (required/optional)
• CurseForge individual files alongside Modrinth
• Fabric support (loader/launcher version config)
• Cross-play Paper template (Geyser, Floodgate, ViaVersion, UDP 19132)

✅ Bedrock Edition

• Full Bedrock server support and Bedrock-specific settings
• Addon Manager: upload .mcaddon/.mcpack/.zip, auto-extract, priority ordering, generate world_*_packs.json
• Browse and import addons from CurseForge

✅ File manager

• Integrated text editor with syntax highlighting
• Folder uploads and drag & drop
• server.properties editing from the UI

✅ Dashboard & monitoring (live)

• Status cards: status, players, CPU/RAM at a glance
• Visual alerts for high CPU/RAM
• Real-time sidebar sync
• Log viewer with search, filtering, error highlighting, live stats

✅ Historical metrics

• Per-server CPU and memory samples collected every minute
• Usage graphs with 1h / 6h / 24h / 72h ranges (Metrics tab)
• 7-day retention with automatic pruning

✅ Scheduled tasks

• Auto restarts at configurable intervals
• Scheduled console commands (Java RCON)
• Enable/disable, run-now, and per-server management (Tasks tab)

✅ Server creation & templates

• Quick-create wizard
• Built-in templates (Survival, Creative, SkyBlock, PvP, Bedrock presets, Paper cross-play)
• Server types: Vanilla, Paper, Forge, NeoForge, Fabric, Purpur, GTNH, CurseForge, Modrinth & Feed The Beast (FTB) modpacks

✅ Player management

• Online players, whitelist, ops, ban/kick
• Quick actions: gamemode, teleport, heal, give
• Admin actions: save, whitelist toggle, time/weather, broadcast

✅ Integrations & networking

• Discord webhooks (start/stop notifications)
• mc-router proxy: single port for multiple Java servers by hostname
• Multi-arch images (x86_64, ARM64)

---

In progress / next (v1.11+)

Smaller, high-value items that fit the current single-node architecture.

More scheduling options

• Cron-style scheduling at specific times ✅ Shipped (interval or cron expression per task)
• More flexible backup scheduling (beyond the current backupInterval)
• Uptime tracking on top of the metrics history

Bedrock console commands

• Re-enable command execution for Bedrock servers (currently disabled due to TTY/permission issues with send-command)

File manager

• Large file uploads (chunked)

Log viewer

• Export logs ✅ Shipped (download from the Logs tab)
• Saved log views / presets

server.properties editor

• Field validation and per-setting tooltips
• Backup before save

Basic server.properties editing already ships; this adds a guided editor.

Docker named volumes (under evaluation)

• Optional Docker named volumes instead of host directory paths
• Volume lifecycle management (create, list, inspect, prune)

Why not now? The file manager reads host paths (BASE_DIR/servers/*/mc-data) for direct access. Named volumes would require reading data through the Docker API or mount points — a filebrowser refactor with a migration path.

Phase 2: Multi-node with Docker Swarm (v2.x)

Connect multiple VPS from a single panel.

MinePanel would auto-detect the environment:

Mode	Description	Use case
Standalone	Docker Compose, single server	Current setup, no changes needed
Swarm	Multi-node cluster	Multiple VPS, auto balancing

• Node management: view connected nodes, status/resources, labels, join instructions
• Server-to-node assignment: automatic, specific node, or by label
• Technical groundwork: an IOrchestrator abstraction with LocalOrchestrator (current Docker Compose) and a new SwarmOrchestrator, chosen by a factory

This is the largest planned effort. It starts with a design spike, not code.

---

Phase 3: Pro features (v2.x)

Cloud backups

Shipped so far: restic backups to any S3-compatible destination (AWS S3, MinIO, Backblaze B2, Wasabi) configurable from the panel, retention policies (PRUNE_RESTIC_RETENTION), and snapshot listing in the backup section.

Still planned:

• One-click restore from a snapshot
• Guided setup for Google Cloud Storage and SFTP/FTP (rclone)

Alerts

Shipped so far: per-server Discord alerts for unexpected server down and sustained high CPU/RAM (configurable thresholds, sustain window and cooldown, in the Metrics tab).

Still planned:

• Log-error alerts
• Email notifications

Network features

• Velocity/BungeeCord integration
• Lobby + game server networks managed from the panel

Resource limits per user

• Build on the existing roles system: quotas and per-user resource caps

---

Phase 4: Ecosystem (v3.0+)

Public API

• Token / API-key authentication for automation and third parties
• Reference docs and SDKs (JS, Python)
• Outbound webhooks beyond Discord

Template marketplace

• Share and import community templates and pre-configured modpacks

MinePanel plugins

• Plugin system, community apps, panel themes

---

Quick wins (anytime)

• Dark/Light mode toggle
• Keyboard shortcuts
• Favorites (frequent servers at top)
• Global search
• Copy server (clone configuration) ✅ Shipped
• Bulk actions (start/stop multiple)
• Server groups/folders
• Reverse proxy helper (NGINX/Caddy)
• Config import/export

---

Maybe (future consideration)

• Native mobile app (iOS/Android)
• Server performance comparison
• RCON console with autocomplete

---
