The Server Tools tab

Every Minecraft server on FrizzlenHost has a Tools tab in the panel — the one place to change your server without touching a single file over SFTP. Log in at panel.frizzlenhost.com, open your server, and click Tools.

Everything that changes your server takes an automatic backup first, and if a change fails it reverts on its own — so trying things is safe.

What’s in the tab

  • Version & Type — move between Paper, Purpur, Fabric, Forge and Vanilla, on any Minecraft version, in one click. We swap the server, match the right Java version and restart — no reinstall, no wiped worlds. See Switching server version or type.
  • Modpacks — search Modrinth or CurseForge, pick a pack, and we install the server files, set the loader and Java, and restart. See Installing a modpack.
  • Plugins — search Modrinth and Hangar with results filtered to your running version, install to /plugins in one click, and remove just as easily. See Installing plugins & mods.
  • Players — a live card on your console page showing who’s online, the MOTD and player avatars, refreshed automatically.
  • Background — give your panel a cosmetic banner: pick a FrizzlenHost preset or upload your own image.

Good to know

  • Backups come first. Every version swap, modpack or plugin install snapshots your server before it changes anything. Those snapshots live in the Backups tab alongside any you make yourself — and the tools only ever rotate their own backups, never yours.
  • Failed installs undo themselves. If something goes wrong mid-install, the panel restores the pre-change backup automatically and your server comes back exactly as it was.
  • No file editing required. Everything here is a button. If you’d still rather do it by hand, the SFTP and file manager are always there.
