Management Server (MSMP)

Pumpkin implements the Minecraft Server Management Protocol (MSMP) over WebSockets, replacing legacy RCON for remote administration, status monitoring, and JSON-RPC commands. Settings are configured under [networking.management] in pumpkin.toml.

Configuration

pumpkin.toml

[networking.management]
enabled = false
address = "127.0.0.1:25585"
secret = ""
allowed_origins = []
status_heartbeat_interval = 0

Configuration Options

• enabled: Master switch to enable the Minecraft Server Management Protocol (MSMP) WebSocket service (default: false).
• address: IP address and port where the management server listens for WebSocket connections (default: "127.0.0.1:25585").
• secret: 40-character alphanumeric secret required for authenticating management clients. If left empty ("") on startup, a random 40-character secret is automatically generated.
• allowed_origins: List of allowed origins for web browser connections validated via the Origin HTTP header (default: []).
• status_heartbeat_interval: Interval in seconds between automatic server status heartbeat broadcasts (0 disables heartbeats, default: 0).
