  "account": "MiniMin is a self-hosted panel for modded Minecraft servers that allows users to spin up a server in Docker with a few clicks. Once the server is running, users can share a link to the client build, which can be pasted into MiniMin Sync to automatically create a Prism Launcher instance with auto-updates. This eliminates the need for Discord zips and version drift.\n\nThe MiniMin panel consists of a single container that provides features such as multi-server management, Docker orchestration, file browsing, log monitoring, player management, mod installation, and more. Mods can be installed, removed, enabled, or disabled for both the server and client. The panel supports Modrinth for mod discovery and does not support CurseForge API integration.\n\nMiniMin Sync is a separate desktop client for friends to easily sync their Minecraft clients with the server. Users simply need to paste a link, hit sync, and the app will download the latest server files and apply any updates. The sync process is automated and includes automatic file diffs, version checks, and SHA-256 verification to ensure a stable and synchronized experience for all players.",
  "summary": "MiniMin is a small self-hosted panel for modded Minecraft servers. Spin up a server in Docker in a couple of clicks, hit \"share client build\", your friend pastes one link into MiniMin Sync and gets a ready Prism Launcher instance with auto-updates. No Discord zips, no version drift. If this resonates — clone the repos, run it, tell me what breaks first. That's the most useful feedback right now.…",
