The flight plan

Less maintenance.
More Minecraft.

From everyday update checks to those bigger version jumps, the goal is to make running a Paper server a whole lot less hands-on.

Plugin intelligence

See installed plugins and versions, discover available updates, and review compatibility before replacing a single JAR.

Paper build control

Browse Minecraft versions and Paper builds, review changes, and manage supported container version settings.

Guided upgrades

Prepare a compatibility plan, stage updates, confirm backups, and keep risky changes behind deliberate approvals.

World housekeeping

Plan low-inhabited-time chunk pruning and BlueMap render cleanup as part of major server upgrades.

Scheduled checks

Let configurable background jobs look for new Paper builds and plugin releases on your own schedule.

Admin notifications

Optional email digests can keep administrators informed when updates or compatibility issues need attention.

Built with intention

Check. Prepare. Deploy.

The guiding idea: know what's changing, be ready for it, and stay in control of when it happens.

01

Stay informed

Inventory your server and discover releases without touching your live installation.

02

Plan with confidence

Review compatibility, stage plugin files, and build a clear upgrade checklist.

03

Apply deliberately

Use controlled deployment and maintenance steps, with recovery in mind.

Your server stays yours. PaperPilot is being designed as a self-hosted tool with safe, opt-in automation — not an external hosting service.
Made for self-hosters

Your infrastructure.
Your choice.

Deploy a complete PaperMC server stack or connect PaperPilot to an existing installation. Choose between full management and read-only monitoring, with permissions tailored to your setup.

Complete Docker stack

Get started with a complete Docker Compose deployment containing PaperPilot, your PaperMC server, and your chosen database. One installation, everything you need.

Planned for v1

Existing server integration

Already running PaperMC? Connect PaperPilot to your existing server without migrating it. Enable supported management permissions for updates, commands, restarts, and maintenance.

Planned for v1

Read-only monitoring

Prefer a hands-off approach? Track installed plugins, their versions, and available updates without granting permission to modify or restart your server. You handle changes manually.

Planned for v1

SQLite or MySQL

Choose your preferred database during deployment. Both SQLite and MySQL are planned as fully supported database options from version 1.

Planned for v1

Standalone Linux installation

A self-contained installation without Docker is planned for a future release, offering more flexibility for different hosting environments.

Future roadmap

Expandable backup support

Plugin-aware backups, restoration tools, and maintenance integrations will continue expanding as support for additional Minecraft plugins is introduced.

Growing over time
Development in progress

Cleared for takeoff.
Almost.

PaperPilot is still being built. The destination is clear — the journey is just getting started.
