Download

Use the GitHub Releases page and download one of these top-level files:

• LMCD-1m26c1ea-Setup-x64.exe
• LMCD-1m26c1ea-Portable-x64.exe

You do not need to open win-unpacked to use the app.

Quick start

1. Download either the setup build or the portable build from the Releases page.
2. Open LMCD and create a server.
3. Pick Paper, Fabric, or Vanilla.
4. Choose the Minecraft version you want.
5. Set the server name, MOTD, RAM, port, and player cap.
6. Start the server and manage it from the dashboard.

Backup and hardcore behavior

• Hardcore presets keep at most 4 backups and auto-save every 3 starts.
• Non-hardcore presets keep at most 4 backups and auto-save every 2 starts.
• Hardcore death detection can wipe the world and its backups after shutdown.
• Risky add-on changes still snapshot first so rollback stays available.

Data location

LMCD stores managed server data under Documents/LMCD.

If an older Documents/TFSU-MiCr folder exists, LMCD migrates it forward automatically when possible.
