Reliable. Responsive. REST-based. Recon is the Next-Generation Remote Control tool for MC—an RCON alternative designed for both players and admins. Recon ensures your commands are executed and responses are received—every single time. NOTE: This application is a smartphone client for Recon. To use it, you must first install the Recon plugin on your server. Key Features: - Ironclad Security: Recon encrypts all traffic using AES encryption combined with timestamp validation and nonce verification. Your passwords and commands are never sent in plaintext. - RESTful Reliability: Built on a robust HTTP architecture. If the server running the plugin is up, Recon connects. - Granular Permission Control: Stop giving out full OP access. With Recon, you can assign specific permissions (nodes) or allow users to execute commands as specific players. - Smart Command Queuing: Need to run a command on a player who isn't online? Recon queues the command and executes it automatically the moment they join. - Modern Console: A sleek, user-friendly interface with command history, multi-server profile management, and instant connection testing. NOTE: Not an official Minecraft product. Not approved by or associated with Mojang or Microsoft.
