Better Fabric Console 🌐
A server-side Fabric mod that turns your Minecraft server into its own web-based admin panel.
No external tools. No extra servers. Just install the mod, open your browser, and you're in.
🚀 How it works
🧩 Install the mod → ⚙️ Start the web service → 🌐 Open your browser
The mod runs silently on your server, captures console output and performance metrics, and serves a modern web interface directly from the same machine — accessible from any browser on your local network.
✨ What you get
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 📟 Live Console | Real-time server log streaming with full Minecraft color code rendering |
| ⚡ Spark Metrics | TPS, CPU and memory usage via spark — when installed |
| 🔍 Regex Filters | Include, exclude or color-highlight log lines with custom rules |
| 🖱️ Quick Actions | One-click buttons for common admin commands with confirmation dialogs |
| 🔐 Secure Access | SHA-256 password, UUID session tokens and a first-run setup wizard |
| 🔌 Plugin Toggles | Enable/disable Spark and console capture on the fly — UI adapts instantly |
| 📦 Zero Bloat | Spark is optional and never bundled — install it only if you want metrics |
🔌 Optional: Spark Integration
If you have spark installed on your server, Better Fabric Console will automatically detect it and unlock a live metrics panel with TPS, CPU load and JVM memory stats.
No spark? No problem — the metrics panel simply stays hidden. Everything else works perfectly.
⚙️ Requirements
- Minecraft 26.1.2 (Fabric)
- Fabric Loader ≥ 0.16.0
- Fabric API
- Java 25+
- Node.js 20+ (on the server machine, to run the web service)
💬 Which mod should we integrate next?
This mod is built to grow with the community's needs. Right now it supports spark for performance metrics — but there's a lot more we could do.

Some ideas already on the radar:
- 🗺️ BlueMap / Dynmap — live map status and controls
- 🔑 LuckPerms — permission management from the web panel
- 🌍 Chunky — pre-generation progress and controls
- 💾 Backup mods — backup status and history
If enough people ask for something, it gets built. Simple as that. 🙌
