# Minecraft-Installer
Light python script to create a Java Edition Minecraft Server
I have been using [How to Make Minecraft Server on Ubuntu 20.04](https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-make-minecraft-server-on-ubuntu-20-04/#configuring-backups) to make a solid Minecraft server. This also works for Ubuntu 22.04. I am essentially breaking up this instructions into a python script to automate the process. I will then test it out in an Ubuntu 22.04 VM to ensure it works properly.
I initially crated bash scripts to automate the process. This can be found in [Minecraft-Installer---Bash-Scripts](https://github.com/mjanders6/Minecraft-Installer---Bash-Scripts.git).
