# MCServerDocker
Runs a Minecraft Server inside a docker container.

# Java Edition only
This only supports the true version of Minecraft, not that phone and console spinoff named "Bedrock Edition".

# Setting up
## Step 1: Installing
This will bootstrap MCSD.
```bash
git clone "https://git.staropensource.de/JeremyStarTM/mcserverdocker.git"
cd mcserverdocker
mkdir server
```
## Step 2: Installing the server software
Rename the jar file of your preferred server software to `server.jar` and move it into the `server/` directory.

## Step 3: Modify the docker-compose.yml
Take a look at the ports and environment variables inside the `docker-compose.yml` file and leave everything else as-is.

## Step 4: Launching the server
You need to start your server two times as we need to generate the `server.properties` file first. MCSD will do this automatically for you.
```plain
# Use this to launch your server every time you need it
docker compose up -d
```
