    Mobile Admin for Minecraft (Android Client + Plugin):
    Version: v3.2.5
    Client Version: v3.2.7

    Mobile Admin for Minecraft allows you to administer common server properties, users, plugins and even chat right from your Android phone! Mobile Admin consists of two parts: a plugin (server) and an Android application (client). The server requires a username and password to connect which are specified in MobileAdmin.properties (stored in plugins folder).

    Current Versions:
    • Client - 3.2.8 (Requires server 3.2.3)
    • Server - 3.2.5 (Requires client 3.2.3+)
    DevBukkit:
    Mobile Admin for Minecraft also had a DevBukkit page.
    http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/minecraft-mobile-admin/

    Free vs Paid:
    In the spirit of Bukkit and its licensing, the free version of the client supports (and will continue to support) native Bukkit commands and API calls. The client and plugin are provided completely free without advertising support. I will continue to add features where I see a place and purpose for them and as Bukkit adds more features.

    The paid version of the client adds real-time server chat functionality and third party plugin support (which IMHO is outside the scope of free Bukkit support and helps me maintain this project, servers, time spent, etc...)

    PayPal and Non-US Users
    No Credit Card? No Android Market Support? No problem! Mobile Admin for Minecraft is also available via the SlideME third party Android market via the following link: Mobile Admin for Minecraft | SlideME

    Supported Plugins (Paid Version):
    • Dynmap - If the client detects that dynamp is installed, a new Map tab will be added with your map in a WebView (based on the server name/IP address you're connected to)
    iOS Users
    Mobile Admin for Minecraft is only available on Android devices.
    However, Alec Gorge has written something similar to MMA for iOS.

    The plugin doesn't create the file, you do.
    The zip file contains a base setup for users.
    Just setup the username/password and configure secondary users as required (or delete them)

    Whoops. Running a remote server and using TCAdmin to access it, got in the habit of just uploading .jar files. My bad.

    I remain slightly confused with the secondary admins section and the plugin verifying paid/free versions of the client. I myself have a paid version but when I was setting up the login of another admin it didn't even let myself in. I had to set admin to false for the other login in order for it to work once again. I really would like the multiple login section cleared up a bit for me.

    You can setup multiple users but only one can be an "admin" or main user.
    you can give secondary users all the same permissions, just set admin to false.
    This is primarily used by the free version to identify which user is allowed to log in.

    Ah gotcha. Thanks ^^ Really love the app and keep up the good work.

    Hmm, I reloaded my server and this happened. Did I mess something up?
    Code:
    14:48:15 [SEVERE] Error occurred while enabling MobileAdmin v3.0 (Is it up to date?): java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to java.lang.String

    Figured it out, the password I set was either too short or couldn't consist of only numbers.

    Interesting, thanks for letting me know. I think a couple other users have the same problem.

    @mkaltner I have a small suggestion about the timestamps on the chat log in paid version, would it be possible to detect the phones default settings for 24 hour clock or to manually set it between 12 and 24 hour clock?

    mkaltner

    Yeah, i was wondering how I wanted to handle the date, especially with other languages/locales.
    I'll add a note to look into it for the next bug release.
    Thanks!

    Hey, got a slight, but fixable workaround, issue.
    I figured that mobile admin would detect my dynmap with no trouble, so I left the URL spot blank. It worked, but it wasn't MY dynmap. So I put in the ip:port like a normal URL and it worked. Don't know if this is suppose to happen, like a default port number to look up in it's own code, but I don't use port 8123 due to someone else on the machine uses that.

    mkaltner

    That's funny.
    But yes, MMA will try to default to the server you connect to + 8123 for dynmap.
    If you run on a server with multiple people, then yes, you should set the URL yourself as you did.

    Lol, I kept things simple and followed the guide XD
    Might want to put a quick note of that into the post lol

    Love the new version, thanks! Being able to view the console is very cool and useful!

    Also, just an idea for a future version, but it would be cool to have a small icon on the phone desktop task bar that stays resident and flashes or causes a notication if there's a message to the op, if the server loses connection, or if a [severe] error is detected. (ie a passive server monitor)

    Have you tried the Minecraft Server Control widget yet?

    anchoredpirate

    Yeah, the password option error stated above is true. Not a big deal though. Widget is very nice, I only tried it because it seems you want feedback but now it's staying. I can't test map feature, because maps are useless for our server. They worked great previously though!

    Edit: widget is even better, now I can view the console on the go instead of using telnet/ssh. Very very very nice.
    Edit 2: Im using miui 1.5.20 if that answers any compat. questions you may have

    I've been using it daily for a few weeks, haven't noticed any hit.
    Let me know if you do but it only polls for stats every 30 min.

    Awesome, glad you like it.
    Also nice to hear it's working on MiUI, using CM7.0.3-DHD here so fairly vanilla and working great for me.
    BTW, I realize the skin's a little hokey, plan to have my graphic designer wife come up with something much better plus updated config options in the next release.

    BTW, any one interested in translating for me?
    Version 3 supports English and German.
    Any other foreign language users want to help out with other languages?
    Other desired languages according to my analytic logs would be: French, Dutch, Korean, Danish, Norwegian Bokmål and Swedish.

    Ah, yes. I tried to use a password that was all numbers and had the very same error.

    Great work on the update! The console feature is great! My only request would be to make the Console feature a tab and to make it not a pop-up. I think switching the location of the "Plugins" tab and the "Console" feature would be excellent, since the console is used much more than the plugins tab.

    mkaltner

    Thanks, and I've added that to my notes.
    I actually agree that the plugins tab is less useful than the console but it I'll see how difficult it is to have it one way for paid and the other way for free (no console in free version)

    Wow! A widget!
    At first glance it looks awesome!
    I like the pop-up menus!
    This is by far my favorite Bukkit Plugins and Android App.

    Something i noticed with the widgets is that if you select one of the widget features (players, status, time, or console) and then press HOME and then when you select a different feature, the previous feature you opened will be in the background of it. Pressing BACK on will close the current feature menu and resume the previous feature menu that you opened.
    EDIT: I reported this bug on yout webiste. Thanks!

    Yeah, tried to take care of my paid users a bit with a little extra feature. :)
    Of course, writing widgets turned out to be a PITA. haha.
     
  26. I would love to get a notification when someone logs into the server. :D

    khamseen_air

    I've just noticed what could be a small bug, when you ban a connected player from the server using the app (paid version) the playerlist still shows them as online but you can't kick them because they aren't actually there.

    mkaltner

    That gets tricky but I plan to look into it.
    How often should the app poll, what kind of delay is acceptable, etc...
    But I'll see what I can do.

    Yeah, I thought I saw that on hMod but didn't on Bukkit.
    I'll look into it further, thanks!

    The only known connection issues are related to networking and port forwarding.

    Great, glad to hear it. :)
