🔧 Features

• 📡 Built-in HTTP server with no external dependencies (no NGINX or Apache)

• 🌍 Configurable IP and port via config.yml

• 📁 Serves static files from plugins/TinyServer/web/

• 📄 Supports default index.html and custom file paths

• 🛠 Lightweight and easy to use — perfect for monitoring, mini dashboards, simple APIs, and more

• 🔐 REST API protected by a unique secret key passed via HTTP header X-API-Key

• 🔑 When API is enabled, the plugin generates a 12-character secret key (Latin letters and digits) with the prefix tiny_. The key is saved to a file named as per the secret config value

• 📊 API provides player online stats: current online and min/avg/max for 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours

🚀 Quick Start

1. Install the plugin on your Paper server.

2. Edit plugins/TinyServer/config.yml to enable API and set parameters:

ip: 0.0.0.0
port: 25984
language: en

api:
  enabled: false
  secret: secret.tserv

1. If api.enabled: true, the plugin will generate a secret key file (e.g., plugins/TinyServer/secret.tserv) on first run.

2. Place your static files (like index.html) into plugins/TinyServer/web/.

3. Start your server — HTTP is available at http://your-server-ip:port.

4. To access the API, send requests to http://your-server-ip:port/api with header:

X-API-Key: tiny_XXXXXXXXXXXX

(where tiny_XXXXXXXXXXXX is your generated key from the file)
