Your host.
One clear setup.

Make it your command centre.

Server controls with review and outcomes

Use the new control deck for broadcast, kick, time and weather. Updated Paper/Folia companion 0.3.8 adds save worlds, difficulty, whitelist entries and on/off, username bans and unbans. Every action has a server review and recorded outcome. Cancel queued work before dispatch. A world save is not a backup; dispatch is not proof of an in-game result. Fabric does not provide these controls.

Studio starts from your plugins

Search installed plugin workspaces, open their imported configurations, or import one owner-reviewed YAML file directly from your host. The editor creates typed settings and retains comments, unknown keys, revisions and export tools. Custom and premium plugin names work; their private configs are not fetched automatically. Remove credentials and private data before import. Exports remain test drafts; exact plugin GUIs, unsupported formats and live deployment need separate adapters. Kit Builder remains a separate optional tool.

Your look, saved to your account

Choose four themes, accent colours, spacing, workspace names, overview cards and reduced motion in Settings. Use Find a task or Ctrl+K to navigate.

Activate the release

Stop the old Voxel Panel launcher with Ctrl+C, then run START_WITH_EXISTING_ACCOUNT.cmd in the prepared 0.3.11 folder. Your account is retained with a private pre-upgrade backup. Upgrade the Paper/Folia companion separately, preserving the paired config, and restart Minecraft through your host. The free connection address changes on restart; update the companion panel-url if needed. Keep PowerShell and your PC on.

Choose a plugin. Test its settings.

1. Activate the new interface first

   Stop the current dashboard launcher with Ctrl+C and start START_WITH_EXISTING_ACCOUNT.cmd from the prepared Voxel Panel 0.3.11 folder. Your top bar must say Running v0.3.11. An old running process does not gain new features when source files are delivered.

2. Choose your plugin in Studio

   Open an installed/custom plugin workspace, then a configuration belonging to that plugin. Enable automatic safe YAML reading using the guide below; use a reviewed manual import for skipped files. Search readable fields or choose a settings section. Kits are now under Other design tools; scanner tools are under Advanced. Generic YAML does not implement every plugin-specific GUI or file format.

3. Send a draft to Test Lab

   Choose Test this draft to include it in the three-step lab guide. Select plugin versions, additional drafts and a test route. Download your reviewed kit, then double-click SETUP_TEST_LAB.cmd in the release folder. File pickers replace long source-folder commands. Supply licensed plugin JARs and the matching Minecraft JAR locally.

4. Choose the right isolation level

   Trusted local mode creates a new loopback test server folder; it is not isolated from your PC. Windows Sandbox mode generates an offline VM profile with networking/clipboard disabled and read-only input/runtime maps. That route is for startup/console checks: your host Minecraft client cannot join, and online licence services/authentication can fail. It requires Windows Sandbox already installed and a Java runtime. Generating the profile does not start or verify a VM.

5. Follow the generated instructions

   Read START-HERE.txt in the new test folder. Local mode provides RUN_LOCAL_TEST.cmd and localhost:25566 join steps. VM mode provides a reviewable .wsb and a separate start button inside the VM. Minecraft never starts automatically. Original files and live configuration stay unchanged; only selected drafts can be applied to the new test copy. Full hosted isolated gameplay labs remain unavailable.

Your configs, without repeat downloads.

1. Enable safe read-only sync once

   Activate dashboard 0.3.11. Stop Minecraft, replace the old Paper/Folia VoxelBridge JAR with 0.3.11, keep its paired config, then use Enable automatic files in Studio. For a legacy local opt-in, add allow-config-sync: true to plugins/VoxelBridge/config.yml. Review files for private data before opting in. Start Minecraft and wait about a minute.

2. Choose a plugin and edit

   Safe YAML snapshots appear automatically in Plugin Studio. Existing drafts are preserved. Suspected credentials/licences, URLs, private player folders, links, non-YAML and large files are skipped; filters cannot recognise every secret. Read-only sync is bounded and is not available on Fabric.

3. Preview before saving

   Before and After values update while you edit. Review the YAML difference and choose Save reviewed draft. Text colours are an approximation; actual plugin menus, items and gameplay need Minecraft testing. Compare with server file shows a dated snapshot, not a guaranteed live view.

4. Test a fresh or copied world

   The website now records your world choice in the kit. Use the local helper to supply matching licensed JARs and, for Copy world, a stopped-server world folder. A new test folder receives the copy and correct level name. Join local mode through Minecraft at localhost:25566 after manually starting it. This local route is not VM isolation. Other dimensions need separate preparation.

Start quietly. Read configs automatically.

1. Run without an open terminal

   Stop the old foreground launcher once, then double-click START_BACKGROUND.cmd in the prepared release folder. A small command window may flash and close. The dashboard and connection then run without PowerShell. Windows may request a one-time account-file access repair. Keep your PC on and awake; no login-startup task or paid hosting is installed.

2. Install the bridge once

   Stop Minecraft and replace the old VoxelBridge JAR with 0.3.11, retaining the paired config. Update panel-url if the free dashboard address changed. Voxel Panel cannot install its initial bridge or transfer everything without access to your host. Fabric config reading is not available.

3. Enable automatic files on the website

   Open Plugin Studio and choose Enable automatic files. Review the reading permission once. Eligible safe YAML snapshots then arrive within about a minute without downloading/importing each file. Pause automatic files stops new snapshots; previous drafts/history stay saved. An explicit allow-config-sync: false in the server config is a local veto and cannot be overridden by the website.

4. Understand what is included

   Inventory, supported metrics and eligible YAML are automatic once connected and enabled. Suspected passwords, licence keys, URLs, private player files, unsafe paths and oversized/unsupported files are excluded. Filters cannot identify every secret; review configs before opting in. Worlds and licensed JARs are not transferred by this reader. Draft edits never overwrite live files.
