From your server, to your friends' desktops. 从你的服务器，到朋友的桌面。
A self-hosted Minecraft server manager with a matching launcher. Host on your VPS, invite friends with one link — mods and all.
You rented a VPS. You want to run a modded Minecraft server and play with a few friends.
Today, that means:
- SSH into the VPS, install Java, Forge/NeoForge, copy mods over.
- Tell every friend the exact Minecraft version, the loader version, and the list of mods.
- When a friend's client doesn't match, they crash. You debug it over chat.
- You want to add a mod next week. Everyone has to manually update.
- Every single time.
Conduit MC turns all of that into one link.
Conduit MC is two things that talk to each other:
- Daemon — runs on your VPS. Installs loaders, manages mods, starts/stops multiple Minecraft server instances, exposes management API and public endpoints.
- Desktop — one app for everyone. Server owners get server management (search Modrinth, build modpacks, watch console, generate invite links). Friends get a game launcher (click an invite link, sync mods, launch, join). Same app, different views.

There are many great Minecraft launchers (HMCL, Prism, PCL2, Modrinth App). There are many great server panels (MCSManager, Pterodactyl, Crafty).
None of them talk to each other.
Conduit MC exists because:
- Server admins and players use different tools today, leading to version mismatches and painful onboarding.
- The
.mrpackformat is a beautiful standard — Conduit MC makes it the glue between your server and every friend's client. - Self-hosted should feel as easy as Minecraft Realms, without giving up control of your world.
- 🚀 One-link server join — friends click once, everything syncs
- 📦 Modrinth-first modpack management — search, add, update mods from the same app
- 🔄 Automatic client-server sync — if you add a mod, everyone gets it next launch
- 🖥️ Remote server control — manage your VPS server from any machine
- 🌍 Web panel (future) — lightweight management via built-in WasmJS web UI
- 🔐 Microsoft OAuth — proper account support, no login servers
- 🌐 Cross-platform — Windows, macOS, Linux
- 🆓 Free and open source — GPLv3, forever
We deliberately do not try to:
- ❌ Compete with CurseForge as a mod marketplace — Modrinth is our primary and only mod source in the MVP
- ❌ Build a hosted cloud service — your server, your rules, your data
- ❌ Support offline/cracked accounts as a headline feature — the project is safer without it
- ❌ Replace MCSManager or Pterodactyl — they're great at what they do, we focus on the host+friend experience
- Language: Kotlin (100% shared logic across all components)
- UI: Compose Multiplatform (Desktop + future WasmJS web panel)
- Server framework: Ktor (Daemon)
- DI: Koin 4.2
- Desktop navigation: JetBrains navigation-compose
- Modpack format: Modrinth
.mrpack(standard, no vendor lock-in)
🚧 Early development. Daemon is feature-complete — all 54 API endpoints, 187 automated tests, security audit passed. Desktop MVP covers pairing, instance creation, and server lifecycle (iterations 4-6 pending). Not yet ready for general use.
- v0.1 — Daemon + Desktop MVP (management + launcher) (Daemon feature-complete; Desktop in iteration 4/6)
- v0.2 — Invite link flow, full mod sync
- v0.3 — Modrinth mod search & management in Desktop
- v0.4 — Built-in Web panel (WasmJS, management-only)
- v0.5 — HTTPS auto-cert, backups
- v1.0 — Stable API, docs, plugin surface
Contributions are welcome once the initial architecture lands. For now, the best way to help is to open an issue describing your use case — real stories shape what we build.
GPLv3 — free to use, modify, and redistribute, but modifications must stay open.
Standing on the shoulders of giants:
- HMCL — the gold standard for Minecraft launchers
- Prism Launcher — the client that shows how mod management should feel
- Modrinth — for building the
.mrpackecosystem - MCSManager — for proving self-hosted panels can be friendly
Conduit MC 是一个自托管的 Minecraft 服务器管理工具，外加一个配套启动器——服主在 VPS 上开服，朋友点一下链接就能装好模组、进服开玩。
你租了一台 VPS，想和几个朋友一起玩模组服。
今天的流程是：
- SSH 上去装 Java、Forge/NeoForge、一个个传模组
- 告诉每个朋友：什么 MC 版本、什么加载器、装哪些 mod
- 谁版本不对谁崩溃，你在群里一个个 debug
- 下周想加个 mod？大家都得手动更新
- 每次都这样
Conduit MC 把这一切变成一条链接。
| 组件 | 跑在哪 | 干什么 |
|---|---|---|
| Daemon | 你的 VPS | 装加载器、管模组、起服务端、对外暴露 API；未来内置 Web 管理面板 |
| Desktop | 你和朋友的电脑 | 统一应用：服务器管理（搜模组、搭整合包、看控制台、生邀请链接）+ 游戏启动器（点链接同步模组、启动游戏、自动进服） |
- 客户端启动器和服务器面板从来不说话 —— 这导致版本错位和糟糕的加入体验
- Modrinth 的
.mrpack格式已经是标准 —— Conduit MC 让它成为服主和朋友之间的粘合剂 - 自托管应该像 Minecraft Realms 一样简单 —— 同时不失去对世界的控制权
- Kotlin 一套语言贯穿所有组件（shared-core / daemon / desktop / web）
- Compose Multiplatform 桌面 UI + 未来 WasmJS Web 面板
- Ktor 作为 Daemon 的服务框架
- Koin 4.2 + JetBrains navigation-compose（Desktop 依赖注入与导航）
- Modrinth
.mrpack作为整合包标准格式
🚧 早期开发中。 Daemon 功能完整——54 个 API 端点全部实现，187 个自动化测试通过，安全审计完成。Desktop MVP 覆盖配对、创建实例、服务器生命周期（迭代 4-6 待做）。尚未达到日常使用标准。
- v0.1 — Daemon + Desktop MVP（管理 + 启动器）（Daemon 功能完整；Desktop 正在迭代 4/6）
- v0.2 — 邀请链接全流程、完整模组同步
- v0.3 — Desktop 接入 Modrinth 模组搜索/管理
- v0.4 — 内置 Web 管理面板（WasmJS，仅管理功能）
- v0.5 — HTTPS 自动证书、备份
- v1.0 — 稳定 API、文档、插件接入
GPLv3 —— 自由使用、修改、分发，但修改必须保持开源。
站在巨人肩上：
- HMCL —— Minecraft 启动器的黄金标准
- Prism Launcher —— 示范了模组管理该有的样子
- Modrinth —— 建立了
.mrpack生态 - MCSManager —— 证明了自托管面板可以友好易用
Made with ❤️ for Minecraft hosts and their friends.
献给每一位模组服服主和他们的朋友。
