Introduction

You've rented a Mindustry game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZapX? This guide takes you through your server's product management from start to finish—and shows you how much time integrated automation and AI assistance can save you in your day-to-day administration.

Control

Overview

The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port you can copy with one click, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources.

Tip

If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX automatically detects it in the background and updates your overview—you don't need to reload the page manually to see the actual status.

Configuration

Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, AI automatically scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and converts them into clear, thematically grouped form fields—with an explanation for each parameter. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file directly—both options are available in the same view. You'll find your server's most important startup values together in the Startup Parameters category.

After you save, ZapX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.

ZapX AI Agent

With ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. In chat, it can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. You'll be asked to confirm any action that changes something on your server—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.

Manage Content

Files

The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser—you can upload files with drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You can find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab under External Access.

Databases

Under Databases, you can create your own databases, view their login credentials at a glance, and open them directly in phpMyAdmin.

Games & Variants

Under Games & Variants, you can see which variant is installed on your server and install, activate, or delete additional games or variants.

Savegames

Under Savegames, you'll find a dedicated file manager limited to your save folder. You only see what you need, without having to browse through the entire server file tree.

Operations and Maintenance

Console

The Console shows your server's live output in a real terminal. Use the input line to send server commands directly to your Mindustry server—for example, save <Slot> to save the current game in a slot.

Backups

We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup without having to remember to make one yourself. With ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains a complete version snapshot, so you can return to that exact state whenever you need to. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on your own schedule.

Tip

ZapX Pass Plus gives you 1, Pro gives you 3, and Max gives you 5 custom backup slots per server. See all the benefits on the ZapX Pass page. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. If you need more space, you can add extra backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.

Schedules

Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks such as starting, stopping, or restarting your server—and with ZapX Pass Pro, you can automate backups too. Choose from convenient templates like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or create your own schedule using a custom cron expression.

Statistics

Under Statistics, you can keep an eye on your server's resource usage—CPU, RAM, disk, and network traffic over a time period of your choice.

Activity

Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes and every backup. This lets you see exactly when changes were made.

DDoS Manager

Depending on your server's location, you'll also find the DDoS Manager. It shows incoming traffic live in a chart and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth.

Conclusion

You now know your way around all the sections of your Mindustry server management in ZapX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
