Host your own minecraft server.

Ever wanted to host a fun personalised team event? Crank out a minecraft server. I did this for a team building event during covid lockdowns. It was soo much fun.

Features

  • Sets up the official Minecraft Bedrock Server
  • Ubuntu / Debian distributions supported
  • Sets up Minecraft as a system service with option to autostart at boot
  • Automatic backups when server restarts
  • Supports multiple instances — you can run multiple Bedrock servers on the same system
  • Updates automatically to the latest or user-defined version when server is started
  • Easy control of server with start.sh, stop.sh and restart.sh scripts
  • Adds logging with timestamps to “logs” directory
  • Optional scheduled daily restart of server using cron
