Quik introduction

This is very simple and powerful standalone tool for minecraft servers administrators, for atomization and improvement of your network management using GNU Screen utility. MCBootstrap helps to manage full lifecycle of yout servers and scripts, log their work and can restart it automatically. An important feature is the ability to generate clones of servers in runtime and create custom addons. Written on Java.

Main features

• Easy to use. All settings are in one file config.yml
• Can start and stop ANYTHING you want (all kind of servers, proxy, scripts, etc) ANYTIME
• Easy to manage. This application uses console with commands like minecraft server
• Total and clear logging. The logging system create new file at each system startup
• Very convenient for minigames networks. MCBootstrap can generate many servers based on one (useful for arenas generation).
• Configurable autorestart for any object
• Extensions system. If you are a developer, you can supplement this system for yourself

So why to use this?

If you have a huge Minecraft network it's hard to manage all servers statuses, so now you can install this application, setup config.yml and manage servers/scripts through the MCBootstrap console, saving a huge amount of time on configuration of each server and its start / stop. If you are interested, I recommend you to go to the wiki.
