Minecraft Server Script

Easily control your Minecraft server in Linux

Installation

Copy file network.sh to /home/minecraft or your user directory.

Copy and modify file servers.cfg to /home/minecraft.

Copy file server.sh to /home/minecraft or your user directory.

Then use command ln -s /home/minecraft/server.sh /home/minecraft/Survival to make a shortcut in each server folder in the network.

Copy and modify file server.cfg to /home/minecraft/Survival and the rest of your minecraft servers / proxies.

Note: There is a predefined a server.cfg file for BungeeCord servers. Just rename server (bungee).cfg to server.cfg and upload to your BungeeCord folder.

With your shell, use command chmod +x /home/minecraft/network.sh and chmod +x /home/minecraft/server.sh to mark the scripts as executable.

Also mark each of the server scripts executable. Ex: chmod +x /home/minecraft/Survival/server.sh

Then use command ln -s /home/minecraft/network.sh /bin/minecraft to make a shortcut in /bin.

You can now control your Minecraft server by using the simple command minecraft.

Then use command ln -s /home/minecraft/network.sh /etc/init.d/minecraft to make a shortcut in /etc/init.d.

Your Minecraft network is now a Linux service, you can use this to start your server automatically on reboots, etc...

Example: To start your server/network, use command minecraft @ start or minecraft <group> <server> start.

Optional Feature: Any command not handled by this script will be passed on to the minecraft server, or all servers if no server is specified.

Example: The command minecraft server @ cmd broadcast Hello everybody! will broadcast a message to everyone on every server saying "Hello everybody!"

Start on Server Boot

Fedora / CentOS

chkconfig --add minecraft

Ubuntu / Debian

update-rc.d minecraft defaults

Spigot

If you use Spigot for your Minecraft server, copy filerestart.sh and place it in your server's root folder.

Example: /home/minecraft/Survival

Use command chmod +x restart.sh to mark the file as executable.

This will allow you to automatically start your server back up after using the /restart command in-game.

Note: Remember to edit your Spigot.yml...

Change: restart-script: ./start.sh To: restart-script: ./restart.sh.

Usage

Use as minecraft <group> <server> <command>.

• start - Start the Minecraft server
• stop - Stop the Minecraft server
• restart - Restart the Minecraft server
• status - Check the server's status (Running or not Running)
• save - Save the world (etc..)
• backup - Create an archive of the server

You can use @ to command all servers in a group or all groups.
