Minecraft-Server Scripts

This repository provides the bash scripts to start a paper minecraft server, either standalone or behind a Velocity or BungeeCord proxy server.

Setup

The scripts assume you have a minecraft server in the current directory, a Velocity server in a proxy subdirectory and a BungeeCord server in a bungee subdirectory, as illustrated by the following graphic:

.:
  start.sh
  paper.jar
  server.properties
  launch.sh
  ...
./proxy:
  velocity.jar
  launch.sh
  ...
./bungee:
  BungeeCord.jar
  launch.sh
  ...

You can adjust the jar names and start parameters in the respective launch.sh scripts.

The configure.sh script only configures online-mode, velocity enabling, bungeecord enabling and server port. Everything else - especially Velocity- and BungeeCord-server - needs to be configured manually.

Starting the server

The server will be started in an infinite loop when calling:

./start.sh

After being stopped it will wait for 3 seconds before automatically starting again. To interrupt this process, ^C (ctrl + C) may be used while the script is waiting ("sleeping").

To start the server behind a Velocity proxy one can use

./start.sh --proxy

or for BungeeCord

./start.sh --bungee

The proxy server will then be started in a screen named proxy. Stopping the server will NOT stop the proxy server, but interrupting the restart-loop will.

Requirements

The yq command line utility is required to configure the server for either Velocity or BungeeCord. It can usually be found in the yq package of your distro.

When starting one of the proxy servers, the screen command is utilised to start the proxy within its own screen.
