Minecraft-Start-Server

Used to install or start a minecraft server. All minecraft servers are installed to ~/Minecraft/ (this directory is created automatically)

All Minecraft servers backup their server.propeerties file when launched with this script to their server directory/backups. e.g. ~/Minecraft/Server-1/backups/

• Usage:
  • To run an existing server and overwrite RCON password
    • Minecraft-Start-Server -s <server id>
    • Example:
      • Minecraft-Start-Server -s 0
        • This would start "Minecraft-Server-0" and overwrite Minecraft's RCON password with the password provided by the script
  • To run an existing server, but don't overwrite the RCON password
    • Minecraft-Start-Server -s <server id> -r
    • Example:
      • Minecraft-Start-Server -s 0
        • This would start "Minecraft-Server-0", but not overwrite the RCON password in Minecraft's config
  • To install a new server
    • Minecraft-Start-Server -s <new server id> -j <path/to/minecraft/server/jar>
    • Example:
      • Minecraft-Start-Server -s 0 -j ~/minecraft_server1.17.1.jar
        • This would copy the provided server jar to Server-0 and install the server
  • Flags
    • -s | --server
      • The server id that is provided to start/install the server
      • Corresponds with the server in ~/Minecraft where the ID is the number in the directory name
    • -r | --rcon-ignore
      • This flag will ensure that Minecraft's rcon password is not overwritten by the script
    • -j | --jar
      • Path to a minecraft server jar and the server will install that jar to the given ID
