    Mobile Admin for Minecraft (Android Client + Plugin):
    Version: v3.2.5
    Client Version: v3.2.7

    Mobile Admin for Minecraft allows you to administer common server properties, users, plugins and even chat right from your Android phone! Mobile Admin consists of two parts: a plugin (server) and an Android application (client). The server requires a username and password to connect which are specified in MobileAdmin.properties (stored in plugins folder).

    Current Versions:
    • Client - 3.2.8 (Requires server 3.2.3)
    • Server - 3.2.5 (Requires client 3.2.3+)
    DevBukkit:
    Mobile Admin for Minecraft also had a DevBukkit page.
    http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/minecraft-mobile-admin/

    Free vs Paid:
    In the spirit of Bukkit and its licensing, the free version of the client supports (and will continue to support) native Bukkit commands and API calls. The client and plugin are provided completely free without advertising support. I will continue to add features where I see a place and purpose for them and as Bukkit adds more features.

    The paid version of the client adds real-time server chat functionality and third party plugin support (which IMHO is outside the scope of free Bukkit support and helps me maintain this project, servers, time spent, etc...)

    PayPal and Non-US Users
    No Credit Card? No Android Market Support? No problem! Mobile Admin for Minecraft is also available via the SlideME third party Android market via the following link: Mobile Admin for Minecraft | SlideME

    [​IMG]

    Supported Plugins (Paid Version):
    • Dynmap - If the client detects that dynamp is installed, a new Map tab will be added with your map in a WebView (based on the server name/IP address you're connected to)
    iOS Users
    Mobile Admin for Minecraft is only available on Android devices.
    However, Alec Gorge has written something similar to MMA for iOS.
    See his site for more information: http://adminiumapp.com/
    Please note however, Alec and Adminium are not affiliated with me or Mobile Admin for Minecraft in any way.

    And WHY would he do that? it isn't like "oh, i can just do this and this and then it's for iphones and ipods compatible too." It requires special programming skills totally different from Android. And why Cydia? App Store is fine too? I don't see why Apple wouldn't approve this app.

    Can't get it to work, using build 290 the plug-in loads fine but I can't login with the app. Could it be because I'm using Hamachi?

    Updated the plugin, built against latest version of bukkit.
    setTime is working again.
    Make sure you have the latest CraftBukkit otherwise it'll still crash.

    Not sure, try the latest bukkit, craftbukkit and plugin.

    Ya its understandable. And removing chat as you said doesnt really remove any ability to administrate the server.

    I don't intend this to sound like I'm flaming - it's merely an informative post written a tad crudely due to lack of sleep.

    The short of the long: Porting apps across mobile platforms isn't easy. Different languages, different system and OS capabilities, ownership of the devices, licenses (You can stop reading here if you want, the rest will probably just be ramble)

    iOS: Obj-C - Essentially a proprietary Apple language. Apples "Walled Garden".
    Android: Java - From what I understand, MonoDroid (Mono being the free version of the Microsoft commissioned C#) can also be run on Android.
    Windows Phone 7: C# - *WARNING, PERSONAL OPINION INCOMING* Windows Phone 7 is horrible. Even some of the MS guys at a conference some friends went to said they don't like the way a lot of WP7 is going. It's taken WM6.5 stripped all of good stuff. Copy & Paste? Gone. Sockets? Nope. Not to mention the recent adoption of Windows Phone 7 by Nokia (It means they're dropping their part in Meego (Maemo x Moblin) - the Linux distro for mobile devices)


    Anyway, the app looks really good. Congratulations. If this was Reddit I'd upvote you :)
    Edit: There is a post on Reddit about this... I upvoted that.

    I'll not comment on the opinions of each OS as they are opinions and we all have them.
    I actually love the attention this app is getting and honored that people want it on their phone of choice.
    I simply do not have the funds nor the time to pursue other platforms; I work a 40-60 hour week and do this on the side for fun.
    What's more interesting is the reddit post.
    I'm an avid reddit lurker and didn't see that post.
    I'll have to pop in there and say hi. :)

    That's an odd error, doesn't specifically look like something from my plugin.
    Can you give me more info? Does it login, etc...?

    And I'd love to get console commands working, alas I'm having issues with that in Bukkit hence my post in Plugin Development: Console Commands (SimpleCommandMap)?

    I'll see if there's some way I can work this out.

    I didn't do any in depth testing on it. Just installed the plugin, configured my username/password, and then tried running the app giving it the server ip, default port, uesrname/pass combo. That error message I posted is what I see on the server side when it tries to connect. I'll have to double check the error message on the App side, don't recall it word for word, but seems to be the default "Can't communicate with server".

    Is there another port I need to open in my router/firewall perhaps?

    MrAdam

    I would just like to thank you for this plugin. I just purchased the paid version for my Nexus S, just for the chat feature, and it's awesome ;) It was a hell to always use SSH from my phone when I had to do basic stuff.
    I bought the paid version hoping that you will keep on developing this plugin.

    Regards, Adam.

    EDIT: Forgot to say, I would love for you to make it save the last input after signing out. Except the password ofc, unless you add a checkbox to save it ;) Im an android developer myself, and I know this won't take more than a few minutes to add.

    EDIT2: I noticed a bug. If you log out, and then press the back button. It logs you in automatically again. Could you add an "Exit" option next to sign out? I hate having apps running in the background.

    Just downloaded paid version, updated my iptables for eth0 to listen on port 5839. When the server starts it sees the plugin but i cant connect. Each time I try to use the app I get the same network error message printed to the log that other users have posted. Any ideas yet?

    Well, I got plugin commands working.
    Not necessarily console commands.
    I'll keep looking into it.

    I didn't notice an option to change the port in dynmap so Mobile Admin just uses 8123.
    I'll look tonight if there is an option and if so, update Mobile Admin to support the configured port.
    --- merged: Feb 15, 2011 5:58 PM ---
    I was actually considering adding a server list on the login screen so you can save multiple.
    Perhaps in the time being I'll update it to save the last credentials.
    Regarding the bug, is it truly still logged in and can manipulate items or just appear to be?
    There are times that it looks like the app is open but when you try to do something, it kicks you back to login since it's not connected. I'll take a look regardless.
    --- merged: Feb 15, 2011 6:00 PM ---
    No, unfortunately I do not know what is causing that.
    If you have TCP open on that port it should work fine.
    Please PM me your server/port and I'll see if I connect to it (no username or password, just want to try connecting)
     
  27. Argh... not having an Android is eating me alive >:3 Dammit iPhone >.>
