Tell your server what you want. It does the work — and asks before anything risky.

Running a Minecraft server has always meant two jobs. One is the fun part: the world, the community, the ideas. The other is the admin part: YAML files, ports, permission nodes, plugin docs, and Skript syntax you copy from a forum post and hope it parses.

In programming, a lot of people stopped writing every line themselves. They describe what they want, an AI writes the code, and they review it — some call it vibe coding. We think running a Minecraft server should work the same way. So every TrueTick server with a world (proxies aside) now has Ask about this server: an AI assistant that reads your server and makes the changes you ask for.

You describe it. It reads your server and does it.

Open your server's page, click Ask about this server, and write the way you'd write to a friend who knows Minecraft hosting:

  • "Why does it lag every evening?"
  • "Set up voice chat."
  • "Add a /kit starter that players can use once a day."

It doesn't answer from general knowledge. It reads your server: live TPS, MSPT and players, the tick history, a fresh lag diagnosis if it needs one, the console log, your plugins and their config files, and our Help Center. Every number it gives you is meant to come from one of those readings, with where and when it was measured — and a number it can't trace to one is marked under the reply, so you know to double-check it.

Example: voice chat, start to finish

Simple Voice Chat is one of the most common things owners ask us about, because it needs more than the plugin: its own UDP port, a config that points at that port, and — with LuckPerms — permissions for players to talk. Miss any one of them and voice is silent.

Ask the assistant to set it up and it:

  1. checks whether the plugin is installed, and offers to install it from the catalog if not;
  2. opens the Voice port (UDP 24454) — after which the platform writes the plugin's port settings itself on every start;
  3. restarts the server, or asks you first if players are online;
  4. if you run LuckPerms, prepares the three permission commands for the default group, each as a card you approve;
  5. tells you how to check: a successfully connected line in the log is the proof, and it can read the log for you once someone joins.

Example: Skript, without learning Skript

Want a /kit starter with a daily cooldown, a join message, or a small minigame? Describe it. The assistant reads what you already have in plugins/Skript/scripts/, writes the script, and shows it to you in full on a card before it exists. You click Apply, it proposes sk reload for the script, then reads Skript's output in the log and works through any errors with you.

You don't need to know Skript to get a working script. You do get to read every line of it before it runs on your server.

It asks before anything risky

An assistant that can change your server has to be one you can trust with it. The first three rules are enforced by the platform's code, not left to the AI's judgement:

  • Your click for anything sensitive. Console commands, Skript scripts and plugin configs it recognises as running console commands, ops, whitelist and bans, security settings, login and permission plugins, installing a plugin, opening a port other than the Voice and Web-map presets, and stopping a server with players on it — all of these come to you as a card showing the exact change. Nothing happens until you click Apply.
  • Undo. Everything it changes in settings, files and ports is journaled before it happens. Undo turn puts it back for 7 days — and if you changed the same thing yourself in the meantime, your version stays. Undo can't roll back the world itself, or a console command.
  • Things it can't do at all. It has no tool to delete files, worlds or backups, to touch billing or team members, or to move your server.
  • Player text is information, not orders. Chat lines, log lines and file contents are what players and plugin authors wrote. The assistant is told to treat them as information, never as instructions — and the changes that could hand out rights wait for your click anyway.

What to know before you use it

It's an AI, and it can be wrong. It tells you what it changed and when it takes effect; read that, and use Undo if it isn't what you wanted.

It isn't free for us to run, so each account has a monthly allowance for it, sized from what the account spends on servers that month. The chat shows how much is left. It doesn't take money from your wallet. If it can't solve something, Send to a human passes the conversation to our support team.

What you ask, and what it reads from your server, is sent to Anthropic, whose Claude model writes the replies. Conversations are deleted 30 days after their last message.

Try it

Open any of your servers and click Ask about this server. Start with the thing you've been putting off — the plugin you never configured, the lag you never tracked down, the script you wished you could write. The full details are in the Help Center: Ask about this server.
