MCInstaller 🛠️

A CLI tool (currently only for Linux, but later maybe with Windows support) for easy installation of minecraft servers.

Using ServerJars .NET API.

Currently avaliable server types

• Vanilla
• Forge
• Paper

Installation

1. Install .NET Core;
2. Clone repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/te9c/mcinstaller.git

3. Build:

$ cd mcinstaller
$ dotnet build

4. Run with

$ dotnet run --project MCInstaller.Console -- <arguments>

Or publish binary and run it

$ dotnet publish -o <output folder>
$ cd <output folder>
$ ./mcinstaller <arguments>

Usage

General use:

$ mcinstaller --minecraft-version <version> --type <Vanilla, Forge, Paper> <output folder>

MCInstaller requires at least two arguments to be set: --minecraft-version (-m) and output path (should be empty directory). If --type option not set it defaults to vanilla. The following command installs vanilla 1.12.2 minecraft server in current folder:

$ mcinstaller --minecraft-version 1.12.2 .
