v1.1.3

Overview

This release adds a few quality of life features, improvements, and fixes a few small bugs.

Changes/Features

General

• JTattoo themes have been removed and replaced with Flatlaf themes. There are several benefits to this change:
  • Flatlaf offers a more compatible open source license, and support for any IntelliJ theme. So future theme additions would be easy to add. These themes also look more modern and clean.
  • The default theme is now consistent across platforms (Flat Light)
  • A configurable Theme Accent Color has been added to the Settings, which compatible themes will use for colors in various UI components
  • When a theme doesn't use the theme accent color it will be indicated with a small label next to the theme accent color swatches
    • Note that some themes may use the accent color partially - these themes will still be indicated with the small label
  • One small tradeoff with this change is that the JAR size has increased slightly to include the new themes
• The start, stop, restart buttons are now colored and look nicer (using the Flatlaf icons)
• A new Resources tab has been added - see below for more details
• The Settings tab is now the second to the last tab
• Fixed an issue where the "Windows" theme could be selected on non-windows machines, which would break the app.

Resources

• A resources tab has been added, which now tracks server resource usage. This includes:
  • CPU
  • Memory
  • Player count
• The live graph added tracks resources for the last 5 minutes, while the server is running.

Files

• Fixed a bug with the built-in file editor where Undo would sometimes delete all contents of the file.

Known Issues

I am aware of issues with the remote admin feature. It appears that most of the remote admin functionality is not working right now.
I plan to modify the application and completely rework the way remote admin works in a future release. When I do this, I will get the existing features working again.

v1.1.2

Overview

This release adds a few quality of life features and improvements, and fixes a few small bugs.

Changes/Features

General

• The main server controls (start/stop/restart, server IP, server status) have been moved out of the console tab and placed above the tab controls - this allows control and view of the server state while on any tab.
  • These buttons are also now icons with tooltips instead of just text buttons. A setting has been added under the Appearance section of the Settings tab to change them back to text-only buttons if you prefer those.
  • The buttons will be disabled when it makes sense that you should not be able to click them (e.g. you will not be able to click the start button when the server is already running, and you will not be able to click the stop/restart buttons when the server is offline).
  • The large server status icons have been replaced with smaller versions since they have been moved to the top of the UI.
• Moved the Exit Timer drop-down to the Settings tab and renamed it to "Shutdown/restart countdown" (and added additional flexibility to allow various time configurations)

Console

• The Console now supports "sticky" scroll - it will automatically scroll with the console logs, unless you scroll up, at which point it is no longer "sticky" until you scroll back to the bottom of the console log.
  • A new configuration setting has been added under the Appearance section of the Settings tab to allow for manual control of the "sticky" status of the console. This enables a new checkbox on the Console tab to configure when the scrolling will be sticky or not.
• Links in the console are now clickable and will open the link in your browser when clicked
• Cleaned up this tab with the changes to the general layout

Players

• The Players list should now work with all supported Bukkit-derived server types (Bukkit, Spigot, Paper)
• The Players tab now includes a total online player count at the top (note that this uses the server.properties to get the total - if you use plugins that modify the server total count, this number may be inaccurate).
• The Players list table only lists players logged on - it used to be a long empty list, but that was unnecessary and now just shows the online players.
• Cleaned up this tab with the changes to the general layout

Settings

• Fixed the server JAR file not actually being saved between sessions. Now if you set the server JAR, it will use that same JAR the next time you load the app.
• Cleaned up/reorganized some of the settings
• Added new settings for new features (as mentioned above)
• The settings tab now has tooltips on every setting to explain what that setting does in further detail. Hover your mouse over a setting to try it out!

Files

• Improved the Files tab further by adding a right-click context menu, as well as a "New" button to add a new file or folder.

v1.1.1

Overview

This release fixes some small bugs with the display of some of the tabs, and adds a few quality of life features and improvements.

Changes/Features

• The Console now has a dark mode and supports text colors. If any plugins use text colors, it should now work in the console.
  • This is configurable using two new settings
• Paper is now a supported server type (will display in the title bar when the server is running, instead of "unknown").
• Improved the built-in file browser (now has icons to represent folders vs. files)
• Improved the built-in file editor - now supports syntax highlighting, better editing support
  • Added a new setting to open files in the system default application instead of the built-in editor
  • Added a new setting to set the editor theme, which is part of the improvements to the file editor
  • Due to these improvements, the new JAR file is larger than before as the app is now using a new library that it wasn't using before.
• Improved the display of the Settings tab (settings are now grouped into sections, a scrollbar appears if the window is shrunk too small)
  • Moved the theme selection to the settings tab
  • Added new settings as mentioned above to this tab
• Improved theme selection - depending on the theme, it may allow hot-swapping, but otherwise the settings tab will display some red text when switching to a theme that requires a restart
• Fixed some buttons and other UI components that weren't displaying correctly in all themes
• Now handling multiple monitors a bit better (when opening the help window or the file editor, these windows now open on the same monitor that the main application is on, instead of always opening on the main monitor)
