This is a port of mcidle-python to C++.

Before running, edit the conf file with your credentials.

MC_USER=test
MC_PASS=testpw
MC_IP=connect.2b2t.org
MC_PORT=25565
MC_ONLINE=true

Download Docker Desktop, launch it and then run the following in your terminal of choice in the project directory

chmod +x run-and-build.sh && ./run-and-build.sh

then you can connect on localhost:1337 to connect to mcidle.

To kill the process, run docker ps, find the container ID and then run docker kill <containerID>.

Sometimes the domain you use to connect to a Minecraft server is hides the actual IP address behind an SRV record that needs to get resolved, using Python run python get-ip.py domain.com where domain.com is the domain you want to find the IP for to resolve its ip address.

e.g for 2b2t.org the resolved ip address is connect.2b2t.org
