craftctl

craftctl is a command-line Minecraft console client.

Written in Go, craftctl runs on same platforms Minecraft does.

Usage

craftctl uses the RCON protocol to interact with a Minecraft instance.

First, enable the RCON interface:

# server.properties
enable-rcon=true
rcon.password=<password>

then point craftctl to your server:

$ craftctl -p <password> list

Specify commands with or without a leading slash. The following are equivalent:

$ craftctl help

$ craftctl /help
