# docker-minecraft
A Dockerfile and some assorted scripts to build a Minecraft Forge server container.
## Usage
Deploy as expected:
```bash
docker run -p 25565:25565 rehashedsalt/minecraft-forge:1.16.5-36.1.4-1.0.0
```
And badda bing, badda boom, you'll have a Minecraft Forge server of whatever the tag is.
The "latest" tag of each version of Minecraft is somewhere along the lines of "1.16.5-36.1.14-master". See Dockerhub for more info.
## Server Console
You can access the server console in a screen session pretty easily:
```bash
docker exec -it mycontainer screen -r minecraft
```
## Application State
For obvious reasons, you'll want to consult the documentation of any mods you have installed, but a majority of application state lives here-ish:
* `/minecraft/world`
* `/minecraft/ops.json`, `whitelist.json`, `banned-ips.json`, `banned-players.json`, etc.
* `/minecraft/logs`
## Environment Variables
variable|description
---|---
`JRE_XMX`|Maximum amount of heap passed to the main Minecraft process
`JRE_XMS`|Minimum heap size passed to the main Minecraft process
`FORGE_PACK_ZIP`|If provided, the URL to a zip or tar.gz file that contains the modpack that needs to be installed. Will be intelligently extracted into the server directory through the magic of `find`.
`CONFIG_REPO`|If provided, the URI to a git repository that contains configuration to copy over top the pack. The root of the repo will be the root of the server directory.
`ARGS`|Any additional arguments to be passed to the JVM
## Useful Arguments
The following arguments may be useful to pass through `$ARGS` from time to time:
* `-Dfml.queryResult=confirm` - Useful when confirming through world corruption
## Weird Defaults
The default `server.properties` contains the following changes to better facilitate usage in a modded environment:
```
allow-flight=true
difficulty=hard
enable-command-block=true
spawn-protection=0
```
## FAQ
**Why do you download the pack at runtime?**
It allows for transparent upgrades without having to build a whole new container. You may lose container consistency, but you gain simplicity in definition.
Of course, nothing prevents you from just not using this magic variable and instead `FROM`ing this container and building your own pack.
