Which tasks does a Core Keeper server have?
| Task | What it does |
|---|---|
| Send Restart | Restarts the server. |
| Send Stop | Stops the server. The world is written as it stops. |
| Send Start | Starts the server. |
| Backup Server | Takes a full backup of your server files. |
| World Reset | Deletes every world on the server, every World Index slot, so the next start builds a fresh one. The admin list, the ban list and your settings are kept. |
Core Keeper has no Send Command task here: its server reads no console input, so the panel does not offer it. World Reset deletes files, so Run asks first. The Run World Reset? window lists what is Deleted from Files and offers Back up the server first. The first run also leaves a switched-off World reset schedule under Schedules as its record.
