minecraft-control

Deprecated

DEPRECATED: I have had much more success managing minecraft servers with kubernetes. See https://github.com/gilesknap/k3s-minecraft

Intro

Some scripts for managing multiple Minecraft servers on a single machine

Inspired by https://github.com/agowa338/MinecraftSystemdUnit/ configuration for running minecraft as a systemd service. Also note a similar project at https://github.com/docent-net/mc-server-manager.

Adds python scripts to easily see the state of any number of servers, plus configure and control them.

Current functions

• List the set of minecraft servers installed with info on status and worlds
• start / stop / restart
• enable / disable (i.e. control auto start)
• attach to console
• switch configured world for a server
• backup a world

Future functions

• create new server
• add new world to server
• upgrade minecraft
• improved CLI via click
• consider client server split (maybe - or stick to ssh)
• replace screen with an RCON client (maybe using https://pypi.org/project/mcipc/)

Example interaction

/home/minecraft/minecraft-control$ pipenv run python mc-control.py

The project is in a working state but not yet fully documented. See instructions.txt for hints on setup.
