Crafty is a Minecraft Server Wrapper / Controller / Launcher. The purpose of Crafty is to launch a Minecraft server in the background and present a web interface for the admin to use to interact with their server. Crafty is compatible with Windows (7, 8, 10) and Linux / Mac (via Python).
Crafty is coded in Python 3.7 and uses the following technologies:
Tornado webserver used as a backend for the web side.
Argon2 used for password hashing. One of the most secure password hashers around.
SQLite DB used for settings and other data storage.
Adminlte used for web templating.
Font Awesome 4 used for Buttons and other graphical things.

It's an able and constantly growing Minecraft Server Manager. It's light and simple to use. The Development is active and the developer responsive and receptive to feature suggestions. As the site states, it is and always will be 100% free. I can say it's my favorite by far.
It supports any minecraft server that operates by jar file and can be run on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS.
Since 5 years ago, I have been running different Minecraft servers over the years, mostly on windows until this year. For me, it is essential that I have an easy to use GUI for monitoring things like player count and server status. When I moved to Linux, I looked long and hard for a good alternative to BukkitGUI, which I used on windows. Crafty was the only application with all the time-saving features that allow me to run my Minecraft server, and over the last couple of months running it many new features have been added! The developer is extremely responsive to their discord, and several of my requested features have been added to the application.
TLDR: If you are Linux, there is no better alternative to Crafty Controller, and even if you are on windows, you should definitely strongly consider crafty.
Great Minecraft Syscontrol Panel!!
I've always thought an app or a service is as good as its developer or owner.
Crafty has that in bundles. It is well designed and the developer is extremely active constantly building on top of it.
The server is extremely well documented and it works on macOS, Linux, and Windows.
@ptarrant is pretty awesome and if you ask nicely he will add features to the build and offer excruciating testing on the build so what is put out there is cleaner of bugs than other builds.
Crafty is free and Open Source.

The developer is very active and always open to ideas. When I first found this server, I asked if it could run on macOS and very quickly the dev jumped in and explained that he didn't have the hardware to test if it could work on macOS. I offered to help and test it and now there is a document stating how to run it on macOS and get it working.
Amazing, stylish minecraft server control panel. Very easy to set up and use compared to other alternatives.
I very much like the fact that it is open source and has no player limits and/or server limits unlike other alternatives.
