ServerScope

Minecraft server monitoring and diagnostics

📊 About the plugin ServerScope is a modern monitoring and observability plugin with a web dashboard for Minecraft servers running on Paper / Folia 1.21+.

💡 Suitable for:

1. SMP servers
2. Vanilla+ servers
3. Large-scale projects with high load

⚡ Why you need it With ServerScope, you can quickly understand:

• ❓ Why the server is lagging right now
• 🌍 Which chunks are causing the load
• 🐄 Whether the number of entities is increasing
• ⚠️ Whether it’s a real problem or just a warning
• 🔌 Which plugins are behaving suspiciously

🚀 Key features

• 📈 Live metrics:

•   TPS, MSPT, entities, chunks
  

• 🌍 World and chunk diagnostics
• 🔍 Event and plugin profiling
• 🚨 Alert system
• 🌐 Built-in web dashboard
• 🔗 JSON API
• 🎮 Admin game commands
• 💾 Data storage (SQLite)

📦 Requirements​ Java 21+ Paper / Folia 1.21+

📥 Installation​

1. Download the .jar file
2. Move it to the plugins/ folder
3. Start the server
4. Wait for the configurations to be generated

📁 Configuration: plugins/ServerScope/config.yml

⚙️ What’s included straight away ​ The following are already active after the first launch:

• storage
• collectors
• alerts
• profiling
• web panel

🔒 Default web panel:

• access only locally (127.0.0.1)
• port 8080
• token generated automatically

🌐 How to access the web panel​ If you’re on the same machine: http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Next:

1. Open config.yml
2. Find web.auth-token
3. Paste it into the panel

**🌍 How to enable external access (hosting)**​ If the server is hosted:

1. Check if you can open the port
2. Specify in the config:

web:
  host: 0.0.0.0
  port: 25656

3. Restart the server
4. Open: http://IP:PORT/

📌 Important: the token is mandatory the port must be allowed by the hosting provider

🔐 Security (IMPORTANT) ​ ❌ Do not publish the token ❌ Do not open the dashboard without protection

🧠 Profiling​ Allows you to track:

• slow events
• frequent events
• load spikes
• plugin impact

📌 By default:

• player_interact
• block_break / place
• entity_damage
• inventory_click
• creature_spawn

🚨 Alerts​ Notification system: 🔴 CRITICAL — appears in-game 🟡 WARN — remains in the UI / console

Examples:

• low TPS
• high MSPT
• chunk overload
• many entities

💾 Storage​

• SQLite database
• asynchronous writing
• minimal load

📁 File:

plugins/ServerScope/serverscope-mvp.db

🎮 Commands​

/serverscope
/serverscope status
/serverscope reload

🔄 Regenerate token​

/serverscope web regenerate-token

💡 Conclusion​ ServerScope is essentially ‘Grafana for Minecraft’, but right inside the server.

If you want to:

• monitor load

→ this plugin is a must-have.
