Introduction
ShardAnalytics is the analytics and operations platform for Minecraft server networks. It combines player and growth analytics with the operational depth needed to explain what changed.
What you can do
Section titled “What you can do”- Command Center: players online, new and returning players, revenue, retention, and data readiness on one page.
- Players and audiences: profiles with activity, gameplay, purchases, and the source that brought the player in.
- Retention: exact-day D1/D7/D14/D30 cohorts with mature denominators, lifecycle stages, and first-session friction.
- Campaigns: first-join domain attribution, creator codes, cost, revenue, and ROI.
- Payments: Tebex and custom stores, with revenue, methods, declines, chargebacks, and transactions.
- Dashboards and funnels: drag-and-drop boards and step conversion analysis.
- Observability: TPS, MSPT, JVM, garbage collection, pipeline health, and network interfaces.
- Operations: alerts with evidence, logs, audit logs, and the network tracker.
- Custom events: send your own events from your plugins and chart them in dashboards and funnels.
How it fits together
Section titled “How it fits together”- The connector runs on your Minecraft server or proxy and collects data.
- The platform stores and processes it per server, scoped to your organization.
- The dashboard reads through a shared query layer, so definitions are consistent across pages.
