Server Management Tools
FE includes several background utilities to ensure server stability and security.
- Automated Backups: Periodically saves the world and compresses it into a zip file. Configurable retention policies ensure the disk doesn't fill up.
- Player Logger: Records every action (block placement, command usage, chat) to a database, making it easy to investigate griefing incidents.
- World Border: Sets a hard limit on how far players can travel in each dimension to prevent runaway world generation and lag.
- Authentication: An optional login system for servers running in 'offline' mode to prevent username spoofing.
