New Module: Multicraft
Multicraft is popular Minecraft game server control panel, and today we announce the beta release of Multicraft for Blesta, a Blesta module.
Watch the video below, and then scroll down for more details.
Where can I get it?
Multicraft for Blesta is in beta, and available for download in the forums here. The module will be included in our next major release, version 3.3, and is compatible with Blesta 3.2+.
What does it do?
The module allows the creation, cancellation, suspension, unsuspension, and management of Minecraft servers through Multicraft. Here are some of the client management features:
- View Server Status
- Restart Minecraft Server
- Stop Minecraft Server
- Start Minecraft Server
- Set Server to Day Time
- Set Server to Night Time
- Set Server Name (If allowed)
- View Connected Players
- Kick Players
- Server Console
- Log in to Multicraft
Configurable Options
Aside from the many options available at the Package level, this module supports 6 configurable options as well. These can be used for customizing the checkout process, allowing customers to select options that override the Package settings. The options are:
- user_players – Allow the owner to set the number of players in Multicraft
- players – Allow the client to select the number of players as a quantity slider, or dropdown menu and charge per-slot
- memory – Allow the client to select the amount of server memory as a quantity slider, or dropdown menu and charge for memory
- daemon_id – Allow the client to select the Daemon ID, useful for offering servers in different locations, ie “Los Angeles”, “Dallas”, “Miami” which would correlate to Daemon ID’s in those locations
- dedicated_ip – Allow the client to order a Dedicated IP address
- jarfile – Allow the client to select the Minecraft server JAR file. For example, default Minecraft, Bukkit, Tekkit, etc.
All in all, this module is powerful and flexible. Be sure to read the documentation to get started.

Blesta 3.2 Beta Released
We are excited to announce that the beta has begun for Blesta 3.2! If you purchased Blesta direct, you may download blesta-3.2.0-b1 from the client area now (Login required). During installation choose to start a free trial unless you have a dev license you can use. Then, head over to our 3.2 beta forums to report any bugs and let us know what you think.
So what’s in 3.2?
The focus of 3.2 is the client area. The entire client area has been rebuilt on top of Bootstrap 3 and is responsive. Additionally, 4 new responsive order templates have been created, including:
- Ajax Slider (A one page ajax order form with a slider package selector)
- Ajax Boxes (A one page ajax order form with a boxes package selector)
- Wizard Slider (A multi-step wizard order form with a slider package selector)
- Wizard Boxes (A multi-step wizard order form with a boxes package selector)
We really like these new order forms and we hope you do too.
There’s a lot more in this release, see the release notes for details.
When is the final release?
Version 3.2 will be officially released after the beta phase is completed. Generally the beta for a minor release lasts around 2-3 weeks, but it can vary. An official release is only made once we deem it to be stable.
If you have any custom plugins or modules or website integrations, we suggest installing the beta and getting a head start integrating. Anything custom that renders views in the client area will need to be updated.
