The Ultimate Secure REST API and WebSocket Orchestration Layer for Minecraft Servers.

➤ What is CoreLink?

CoreLink is an advanced, production-grade Minecraft server control layer designed for Paper API (1.21.1+). It acts as a bidirectional bridge between your Minecraft server infrastructure and external dashboards, Discord bots, or management panels. CoreLink provides extremely fast and secure access to REST API endpoints and real-time WebSocket communication.

Stop managing your server through clunky console panels or SSH—take full control of your community with a modern tech stack.

➤ Core Features

Real-Time WebSocket Streaming: Stream live console outputs, in-game player chat, and critical performance metrics directly to your external clients instantly.
Ironclad Security: Built with security first. Your endpoints are protected by Nimbus JOSE + JWT authentication, IP whitelisting, strict rate limiting, and core brute-force protection.
Advanced Moderation Suite: A full, custom-built punishment system (/mute, /ban, /warn, /freeze, /kick) that permanently logs actions asynchronously to your Local storage or MongoDB database.
Dynamic Server Utilities: Modify /view-distance, /simulation-distance, and /max-player on the fly through in-game commands or the REST API. No server restarts required!
Server Properties (SRV) Manager: Seamlessly toggle server maintenance modes, update extreme PVP states, and manage world settings from anywhere securely.
