Core Features
Easy Server Management with the Control Panel
A tour of the GameGrid control panel: which tabs your server has, and what each one does.
Using the File Manager
Browse, upload, download, edit and manage your server files from the web panel.
Using the Live Console
Watch your serverโs output as it happens, and send commands straight to the game.
Configuring Server Settings
How to use the Settings tab to change game mode, difficulty, player limits, whitelists and more.
Backups and Mods
Administration
Customer API
Customer API Reference
The GameGrid Customer API - authentication, errors, rate limits, pagination, idempotency and streaming, plus every endpoint group and what it covers.
API Key Management
How to create, scope, rotate and revoke API keys safely. One key per job, least privilege, and exactly what to do when a key leaks.
Webhook Configuration
Receive server lifecycle, command and move events as they happen instead of polling. Register a webhook, verify the signature correctly, and understand exactly which eight events exist.
API Scopes and Permissions
The full scope vocabulary for the Customer API - all 44 scopes, what each one grants, and how to choose least-privilege scopes for each key.
Command Manager
Command Manager Guide
Schedule console commands to run on their own - hourly saves, restart sequences with warnings, an item for everyone online - with every setting on the form explained.
Command Manager Variables
The chips under every text box insert a placeholder, not a value. What each one becomes, when it is filled in, which two need editing afterwards, and why {playerNames} is not the Send to every online player checkbox.
Command Manager API
Schedule recurring console commands from your own code - list, create, edit, toggle, run and audit schedules, with every field, limit and status a schedule can carry.
Scheduling Commands from Discord
Use /command-schedule to create, list, run and audit scheduled game-server commands from Discord, with copy-paste examples for Minecraft, 7 Days to Die, Palworld, Valheim and Windrose.
Discord Bot
Discord Bot Setup Guide
Invite the GameGrid Discord Bot, create a key with the right scopes, link it, decide which Discord roles get which level of control, and point commands at the right server.
Discord Bot Commands Reference
Every GameGrid Discord Bot command - 46 top-level commands, 96 invocable paths once subcommands are counted - with its options, the access level it needs, the API scope behind it, and who sees the reply.
Discord Bot Permissions & Security
The five access levels, who can configure the bot, how your API key is protected, and where the boundary sits between what Discord decides and what the GameGrid API decides.
Server Economy
Server Economy Overview
A per-server currency with wallets, a shop your players buy from in Discord, and automatic in-game delivery. What it is, which games have it, and what it needs to work.
Setting Up Your Server Economy
From nothing to a working shop: invite the bot, scan your game's items, price a few, name your currency, and make the first purchase land in game.
The Item Catalog and Shop
Scanning your game's real item list, pricing items, taking them off sale, and moving the whole shop through a spreadsheet.
Linking Discord Accounts to In-Game Players
How /link and !link connect a Discord account to a character, what each game needs before it can see the code, and what to do when nothing happens.
Wallets, Awards and Auto-Earn
Where a balance comes from, how to hand currency out, and exactly which auto-earn rewards pay on which game.
Purchases, Delivery and Refunds
What happens between /buy and the item appearing in game, what each delivery state means, how long a stuck purchase is retried, and what a refund does and does not do.
Sharing One Economy Across Servers
Link two or more of your servers so players keep one balance across all of them โ what is shared, what stays per game, and where the money goes when a server leaves.
Economy and Chat Bridge Discord Commands
The nineteen economy and chat-bridge slash commands: what each one does, what access it needs, and who can see the reply.
Chat Bridge and Live Map
Discord Chat Bridge
Mirror in-game chat into a Discord channel and send that channel's messages back into the game. Setup, what each game can do, and the limits.
The Live Map: What Each Game Shows
Every game's map is built differently and shows different things. Where to find yours, what it can show, and what it honestly cannot.
