Feature Categories

​
Server Management

Manage multiple Minecraft servers and proxy networks simultaneously from a single Discord panel. Each server gets its own console thread and can be controlled independently or as a group.
View real-time status of all processes, including RAM usage, disk usage, and process state. Monitor which Java processes are running in your McDis directory.
Execute any Minecraft server command directly from Discord. Commands can be sent through the panel, console threads, or terminal interface.
McDis-RCON handles server shutdowns gracefully using configured stop commands. If processes don’t close within 60 seconds, they’re automatically terminated.

​
Discord Integration

Server console output is streamed to Discord threads in real-time, formatted as code blocks for easy reading. Large console outputs are automatically batched to prevent Discord rate limiting.
A persistent control panel message provides buttons for common actions, status displays, and quick navigation between features.
Errors and exceptions are automatically caught and reported to a dedicated Error Reports thread with full stack traces and context.
Personalize your panel by placing a banner.png (515×131px recommended) in your McDis directory.

​
File Operations

Navigate through your server directories using an intuitive dropdown interface. View files and folders, navigate between directories, and access specific paths.
Edit text files directly in Discord. Files under 4000 characters can be edited using Discord modals. Preview longer files with up to 1024 characters displayed.
Upload files to any directory by dragging them into the Discord panel channel. Download files up to 5MB directly through Discord. Larger files can be downloaded via Flask server with temporary links.
An integrated terminal allows advanced operations like copying, moving, renaming, creating folders, deleting files, and compressing directories.

​
Automation & Extensibility

Process-specific extensions that run when a server is active. Can listen to Discord events and console logs, enabling event-driven automation.
Global extensions that run as long as McDis-RCON is active. Can add new Discord commands, respond to events, and integrate with external services.
Store frequently used command sequences as YAML files. Execute complex operations with a single button click in Discord.
Reload plugins and addons without restarting McDis-RCON using mdreload and adreload commands.

​
Advanced Features

​
Flask File Server

An optional built-in Flask server allows downloading files larger than Discord’s 5MB limit.
Features:
  • Configurable single-use or multi-use download links
  • Temporary or persistent link options
  • Download tracking and logging in Console Flask thread
  • Configurable IP and port

​
Backup Management

Automated backup system with configurable retention policies.
Features:
  • Create full server backups as ZIP archives
  • Restore from any backup version
  • Automatic old backup deletion based on configured limit (1-5 backups)
  • Backup creation requires server to be stopped (prevents corruption)

​
File Uploader

Dedicated file upload mode that captures all attachments sent to the panel channel.
Features:
  • Toggle upload mode on/off
  • Set target directory for uploads
  • Choose whether to overwrite existing files
  • Upload progress tracking

​
Process Manager

View and manage all Java processes running in your McDis directory.
Features:
  • List all active processes with details
  • Force kill specific processes
  • Identify rogue or stuck processes

​
Launcher Compatibility

McDis-RCON works with any Java-based Minecraft launcher:

Server Software

  • Vanilla
  • Paper
  • Spigot
  • Fabric
  • Forge
  • Purpur

Proxy Software

  • Velocity
  • Waterfall
  • Bungeecord

Special Cases

  • MCDReforged (compatible)
  • Any Java process
When using MCDReforged, ensure advanced_console is set to False in your MCDR configuration to prevent console formatting conflicts.

​
Multi-Language Support

McDis-RCON includes built-in internationalization:
  • English (en) - Default
  • Spanish (es) - Full translation
Set your preferred language in md_config.yml: 
Language: en  # or 'es' for Spanish

​
Command Interface

McDis-RCON provides three interfaces for control:

​
Discord Panel Commands

Commands prefixed with !! in the panel channel: 
!!start <server>     # Start a specific server
!!stop <server>      # Stop a specific server
!!restart <server>   # Restart a specific server
!!kill <server>      # Force kill a server
!!start-all          # Start all servers
!!stop-all           # Stop all servers
!!mdreload <server>  # Reload server plugins
!!adreload           # Reload global addons

​
Console Thread Commands

Commands in individual console threads (no prefix needed): 
start                # Start this server
stop                 # Stop this server
restart              # Restart this server
kill                 # Force kill this server
mdreload             # Reload this server's plugins
<any command>        # Execute in server console

​
Terminal Commands

Commands in the McDis-RCON terminal: 
start <server>       # Start a server
stop <server>        # Stop a server
restart <server>     # Restart a server
kill <server>        # Force kill a server
start-all            # Start all servers
stop-all             # Stop all servers
mdreload <server>    # Reload server plugins
adreload             # Reload addons
status               # Display panel status
exit                 # Gracefully shut down

​
Security Considerations

Important Security Notes:
  • The Discord bot should have administrator permissions for full functionality
  • All users with access to the panel channel can control servers
  • File Manager allows access to all files in the McDis directory
  • Flask server (if enabled) should be properly firewalled
  • Keep your bot token secure and never share it

​
Performance Notes

  • Console output is batched to prevent Discord API rate limiting
  • Large console backlogs (>1000 logs) are automatically truncated
  • File Manager has a 25-file limit per view for performance
  • Backups are created as compressed ZIP archives to save space
