Every tool is free, needs no account and doesn't add a watermark to anything you export. - **Do my configs or images get uploaded?** No. Text, config and image tools run in your browser. Only Server Status and Player Lookup send a request, because they need live data from the server or from Mojang. - **Which Minecraft versions are supported?** Current Java Edition, including the new year-numbered releases (26.1, 26.2, 26.3) and 1.21.x. Where syntax changed between versions, like text components in 1.21.5 or new server.properties keys in 26.2, the tool lets you pick your version. - **Do the tools work with Paper, Spigot, Velocity and BungeeCord?** Yes. Tools that export text give you a format for each: legacy colour codes, hex codes, MiniMessage or JSON, depending on what your software reads. - **Can you set up my server for me?** Yes.
