Talk:Server wrappers

Hi all,

I just released my project on Github:

https://github.com/SamLebarbare/minecraft-frontend

This is an Open Source Web Front-End template using RCON with some features

 * I suggest you add it to the page following the same format as the other programs listed, ensuring it is inserted in alphabetical order.  02:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Proposed rework
Hi all. I'd like to propose the following changes to this page:


 * 1) Remove wrappers not supporting 1.3 or above (1.3 removed the " tried command /foo" line which broke many wrappers)
 * 2) Remove wrappers that are only available when hosting with a certain company
 * 3) Remove wrappers that have broken website/download links
 * 4) Remove wrappers that have no public release yet (why bother listing them?)
 * 5) Remove image logos (these don't seem very wiki-like to me, especially when some of the software listed is sold for profit)

Full disclosure: I intent to add my own wrapper to the page. Source is here:. Barneygale 02:19, 5 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Entries removed solely for being outdated (#1 above) should be moved to the page. Unavailable wrappers (unreleased/no working links) can be simply deleted. -- Orthotope 06:42, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

Clean-up for 1.5
Minecraft 1.5 means this page should no longer contain entries for 1.2.

'ACTION' is my proposed action - I haven't touched the page yet.


 * 1) Should we be listing unmaintained software at all?
 * 2) I think ServerCrafter and Minecraft Server Launch Utility shouldn't be listed, as they don't actually wrap the minecraft server process. Comments? 82.19.50.34 16:59, 30 March 2013 (UTC)

2021 Rework
A lot of people are comming to this page looking for a Minecraft server wrapper, but in my opinion it is just not very helpful because of the following reasons:
 * 1) A lot of listed wrappers are not even exisitng anymore
 * 2) It's hard to find working wrappers

My ideas for improvement:
 * 1) Remove any wrappers with status "Inactive" (No reason to list inactive wrappers imo, maybe add an additional category called inactive wrappers)
 * 2) "Source available" should contain a link, if set to Yes
 * 3) Check all wrappers, if the status is up to date
 * 4) Maybe replace the Author column with a Date column

I would do the changes, but I wanted to get some feedback first.
