# 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:
```sh
./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
```sh
./start.sh --proxy
```
or for BungeeCord
```sh
./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.
