## What is Mine Control for Minecraft?

**IMPORTANT** This app requires your Minecraft server to have RCON enabled and set up correctly. Server setup and portforwarding is your responsibility. Minecraft server 1.16 or newer is also required.

Running a Minecraft server? On the go with an iPad or iPhone? Want to manage your server remotely, wherever you are? 

Mine Control taps in to Minecraft's RCON (remote control) server protocol to allow you to interact with your world. Mine Control uses a friendly user interface to provide access to essential server commands that make administrating your Minecraft servers so easy, you'll want to leave the app open while playing. 

Interact with players on your server by pulling up the player list in-app. You can whisper messages to players, teleport them around and even give them items from an item-catalogue. As an RCON administrator, you also have the ability to kick and ban players connected to your server. 

Mine Control is compatible with Vanilla and Bukkit servers of the latest versions. Mine Control may function with other types of servers, but a positive user experience cannot be guaranteed.

The app includes multi-server support, dashboard player stats, and a command console.

Basic server controls: 
 - Global messaging
 - Time control
 - Game save control
 - Weather control
 - Game difficulty
 - Spawnpoint
 - Whitelist control
 - Custom user commands

Player controls: 
- Private message
- Grant a status effect 
- Give item 
- Give XP 
- Teleport to coordinates 
- Teleport player to another 
- Op player 
- Deop player 
- Kick player (with message) 
- Ban player (with message) 

Mine Control uses a UDP based RCON library, which makes it quite effective for use over a 3G network. Tested to be functional and responsive on an iPhone over a 3G connection.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2020-04-17, version 2.2*

Been using this off and on for years. Although it’s likely been abandoned, some of the features still work.  Not a lot of offers for an RCON app for Minecraft, and this one still works! (Mostly)

### 1/5 — App is Broken

*2020-03-30, version 2.2*

Many if the features don’t work and some lock up the app. IDK how it’s still on the app store.

### 2/5 — This is outdated

*2019-11-13, version 2.2*

Hi i spent money on this and its outdated dose not work dont buy

### 2/5 — Needs an update

*2017-10-29, version 2.2*

This app has huge potential, but it looks like it’s been abandoned. The player list doesn’t work for spigot servers running 1.12

### 1/5 — Scam, want money back.

*2016-02-27, version 2.2*

No matter what you do, it says the server is reachable. But the "password is never right"!

### 1/5 — Money back

*2015-11-19, version 2.2*

I want my money back this app did not work for me plz and thx

### 4/5 — Great app except

*2015-05-29, version 2.2*

It won't connect to my server its port forwarded and all but even on the same wifi it won't connect :(

### 5/5 — Great app for a minecraft server admin

*2014-10-14, version 2.2*

I really like this app. It does everything it says and it's pretty easy to use. You have to enable rcon in your sever and set up port forwarding if you plan to use this app outside of your network. Like I said, I really like this app, would be great if there would be an iPad version of this app.

### 3/5 — Pretty good, needs some features.

*2014-06-15, version 2.1.1*

This app is amazing for controlling your server wherever you may be: School, work, on vacation, etc. Over all it has a wonderfully simple design, that is definitely helpful.

However, I have to give it three stars because there is no way to view live chat, which is one of the things I wanted. 

Other than that, it's awesome!

### 5/5 — Killer app man.

*2014-03-16, version 2.1.1*

Really cool app and idea. Well built. It's nice to be able to moderate riding in a car or at work or whatever when you have to. 

If you know what you're doing when it comes to the server properties file and forwarding the rcon port (for outside your LAN control), you should have no problem setting this up. Remember the wisest words when it comes to the Internet: "Google is your friend"
