Game server infrastructure, built in the open.

Xena Studios makes the software that runs game servers on machines you own, the Minecraft plugins that run on them, and a Minecraft server of our own. Everything we ship is open source, so you can read exactly what it does before you run it.

Pterodactyl had a good run.

Raptor does everything you run Pterodactyl for, with the add-ons built in and no panel to host. Run one install command on any Linux box you own or rent, then manage game servers, Discord bots, and voice servers from the web.

Raptor's page for a Paper server named Survival: running, with CPU, memory, disk, and network readouts above its live console.

Panel
The web app and API: accounts, organisations, billing, and linking your machines.
Runs on Raptor's infrastructure
Wings
The daemon that runs your servers, with schedules, backups, SFTP, and crash recovery. Keeps working when the Panel can't be reached.
Runs on Your machine
raptor CLI
Status, power, console, logs, backups and restores, and a doctor that says what's wrong and how to fix it, on the machine itself.

Keep your scripts. Lose the lag.

NeoSkript is a drop-in replacement for Skript, rebuilt for speed. The scripts you already have run unchanged, on Paper and Folia.

Cops vs. prisoners, on Java and Bedrock.

MostWanted is our own Jailbreak-style Minecraft server. Prisoners break out and rob the town; guards, picked by application, bring them back. One world that keeps running, built on Raptor and our plugins.

Status In development, not open yet

Plugins

Small plugins for Paper servers. Each one does one job, costs next to nothing to run, and lets you switch off anything you don't use.

  • xUtilities

    Gamemodes, flight, heal, /back, workstation menus, and link commands like /discord that you write yourself. Every command can be switched off.

    Runs on Paper, Folia

  • zChat

    A chat format per rank, a filter that's hard to dodge, cooldowns, mentions and private messages. Each message is drawn once, however many players see it.

  • xLimbo

    Your network's fallback server. When the main server goes down, players wait in a safe void world instead of being disconnected, and go back when it's up.

How we work

  • The source is public.

    Raptor is AGPL-3.0, and NeoSkript, the plugins and MostWanted are GPL-3.0, all on GitHub. Read what they do before you run them, build them yourself, and send changes back. github.com/xena-studios

  • Your machine stays yours.

    Servers run on hardware you control. Raptor's daemon keeps them up even when our panel is unreachable, and the raptor CLI works on the box itself.

  • Claims you can check.

    If we say something works, there's code, documentation, or a release you can point at. If it isn't shipped yet, we don't say it is. docs.raptorpanel.net
