Minecraft Ops, Sorted!

I made WatchTower because I was tired of jumping between control panels, latest logs, and crash reports late at night. Just put the jar in the mods folder. It runs while your game is active and shows you a simple list of fixes on your computer. No need for a cloud account.

on your host

Your Operations Desk, Not a Replacement Panel

WatchTower sits next to your main control panel, not on top of it. It doesn't start or stop your server, secretly delete mods, or keep an eye on your players. Instead, it watches your server's health, helps prioritize issues, and provides clear advice so you can make the best decisions.

Keeps Data Local and Private
All information stays on your server—no cloud accounts or hidden tracking needed.
Offers Recommendations, Not Automatic Actions
WatchTower suggests when to restart and points out problematic mods. You or your control panel choose when to make changes—no automatic moves.
Helps Troubleshoot, Not Spy
Player lists help explain lag or connection issues—they aren't used to gather player data or monitor players.

Get an instant health update and advice on whether to restart before you hit reboot. WatchTower looks at busy times, how many players are online, and current server activity so you don't accidentally ruin a good session.

Your organized list of problems on your server

WatchTower checks your logs, scripts, and server performance every minute. If a KubeJS script runs into an issue, a client-only jar file gets added silently, or the server pauses temporarily, WatchTower creates a clear step-by-step guide to fix it.

Crash Reports Made Easy

WatchTower groups similar crash details so you don't have to read the same report over and over. It points out the likely problem mod, shows the clues that led to that conclusion, and recognizes when the server was killed by the operating system without leaving a crash log.

Check your disk space before it's all used up

Keep an eye on how your storage is growing, watch for sudden jumps in data, and see how much time you have before you run out of space. Know how many days you can store more data and find the best times for quiet maintenance.
