Setting up the Server

The server has been retired. Follow these steps to host it yourself.

1. Download the Fabric server jar 0.15.17 for Minecraft version 1.20.1 from either the Fabric website here or by curling it:

   • curl -OJ https://meta.fabricmc.net/v2/versions/loader/1.20.1/0.15.7/1.0.1/server/jar

2. Create a working directory with the jarfile and run the launch command, allowing the server to run once, accept the EULA, etc.

   • java -Xms1G -Xmx8G -jar fabric-server-mc.1.20.1-loader.0.15.7-launcher.1.0.1.jar nogui
   • For the duration of this server's existence, it was allocated 12 gigabytes and performance wasn't hindered in normal play with <=10 players.

3. Download the additional server files here and extract them to the root directory of the server. They include schematics, painting caches, whitelists, and the server settings. Overwrite files that were generated on first startup.

4. Download the world save! Extract it to the subdirectory world within your server directory.

5. Important Download this jarfile from packwiz and place it in the root directory. Run this command every time you start up the server before running the launch command from step 2:

   • java -jar packwiz-installer-bootstrap.jar -g -s server https://gh.dyn.gay/pack.toml

6. Create any startup or maintenance scripts necessary for your usage, and connect with a client. The scripts used are provided in script.
