Features

As well as starting, stopping and restarting MSM has the following features:

  • One script handles multiple servers, run two or more servers on one machine.
  • Can create and start new servers with a single command, downloads the jars for you.
  • Periodically makes WorldEdit snapshot compatible backups of your worlds.
  • Backup the entire server directory for complete protection.
  • Load world's into RAM for faster access (reduces lag).
  • Easily configurable global defaults, with per server overrides if needed.
  • Apply server commands to one, multiple, or all servers in one go (useful for whitelisting a player on all servers.)
  • Tab completion for all commands, makes everything faster and getting started a breeze.
  • Keep server logs organsied by periodically "rolling" them.
  • Organises jar files into groups (such as minecraft and craftbukkit) and links each server to a single jar. Includes automated download of new versions.
  • Plethora of in-game commands (whitelist, blacklist, operator, gamemode, kick, say, time, toggledownfall, save)
  • Send commands straight to the server via the command line.

Upcomming features

  • QuickBackup: If you store your backups non-locally (maybe on a NAS), QuickBackup optionally creates a backup locally for speed, and then moves it after your players are building again! My initial testing shows a 54 second network backup confaltes to 23 seconds of in-game time.
  • Restore: Roll-back to an old world or whole server backup automatically.

Versioning

MSM uses semantic version numbers to better describe what code one might have installed, and indicate backwards incompatible changes.

Releases will be numbered with the follow format:

<major>.<minor>.<patch>

And constructed with the following guidelines:

  • Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major (and resets the minor and patch)
  • New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor (and resets the patch)
  • Bug fixes and misc changes bumps the patch
