# Benson
A Minecraft server manager from hell.

Benson started as a little server manager for the Minecraft server a few friends and I play on. The server runs on one of our machines, and originally Benson was just a way to make managing that server a little less annoying. Then it progressively grew. I added automatic mod updates through Modrinth. Then compatibility checking. Then backups. Then a way to generate a fresh server without having to manually download everything and set it up again. At some point, Benson stopped being just a server manager and became a tool for spinning up Minecraft servers whenever we feel like doing something stupid. It can manage mods for an existing server, keep them up to date, back up the server before making changes, and generate completely new servers from a configuration.

It's probably way more complicated than it needs to be, but that's kind of the point. The only reason this is public is because a friend of mine told me it might be useful for other people.
