StaffHQ
Cross-network staff tracking, player investigation, and chat logs in one web dashboard.
StaffHQ, Staff Management Dashboard for Minecraft Networks
StaffHQ is a hosted staff management platform for Minecraft servers. The plugin connects your server to a private web dashboard at dash.staffhq.net, providing real-time visibility into server health, staff activity, and player behaviour across your network.
The plugin is free and open source under the MIT license. A StaffHQ subscription is required to use the dashboard. A 7-day free trial is available with no card required at staffhq.net.
