Websites hosted directly on Minecraft servers

Portel is a Minecraft plugin that allows you to host a simple website directly from your server. It starts a lightweight web server that serves files from a folder within the plugin's configuration directory.

Why use Portel?

• Simplicity: Portel is designed to be easy to use. Simply drop the plugin into your server's plugins folder and you're ready to go. No complex setup or configuration required.
• Performance: Portel is built to be lightweight and efficient. It uses Java's built-in HTTP server to minimize resource usage, ensuring that your server's performance is not affected.
• Customization: Portel gives you full control over your website. You can create your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files to build a unique website that reflects your server's identity. You can also create custom error pages for 403, 404, and 429 errors.
• Security: Portel includes a whitelist/blacklist system to control access to your website. It also has a path-traversal protection and a rate-limiting feature to prevent abuse.
• Real-time updates: Changes to your website files are reflected in real-time with automatic Hot-Reloading.
• No external hosting required: Host your website directly on your Minecraft server, eliminating the need for a separate web hosting service.
