Kith's server list showing offline, starting, and online servers

Modpack Management

Paste a modpack link and kith validates it, lists every published version, and installs it. Track "Latest release" and the pack updates itself on restart. Vanilla servers work too.

Config Patching

Describe your tweaks once in patches.json and they're re-applied on every start, even after a modpack update regenerates its configs.

Java Version Matching

Each server gets a JVM matched to its Minecraft version. No "unsupported class file version" crashes, no juggling JDK installs.

Automatic Backups

Scheduled snapshots with retention pruning, on-demand snapshots, and one-screen restores. Local disk or off-site on S3, B2, Azure, or GCS.

Unified Dashboard

Live status and player counts for all your servers. Start and stop them, watch logs stream by, run console commands, all without leaving the app.

Plain Docker Compose

Each server is a plain docker-compose.yml and a data directory. Kith preserves anything it doesn't manage, so the escape hatch is always open.

Pre-release

Kith is under active development. Configuration formats, behavior, and on-disk layouts can change between releases, and mistakes can break your servers. Back up anything you can't afford to lose before upgrading or changing global settings.
