Managing Your Game Servers

Overview

The /servers command provides full control over your game servers directly from Discord. You can monitor server status, start and stop servers, access the console, manage backups and snapshots, and configure server settings - all without logging into the Game Panel.

This guide covers all available server management features accessible through the Discord bot.
