# Minecraft Server Installer Script (Vanilla,Forge, Spigot & Paper) 1.7.X - 1.21+
## About the project
With this project, my goal was to make installing Minecraft servers, no matter if they are Vanilla, Forge, Spigot or Paper, as easy and beginner-friendly as possible.
After making some Tutorials on my [YouTube Channel](https://youtube.com/realtm_csgo) and providing a detailed [Documentation](https://docs.realtm.de) for them, there were still questions and problems on how to install a Minecraft Server on a Linux-Server.
Thats why I created this All-in-One solution for installing a Minecraft Server (Forge, Vanilla, Spigot & Paper).
## Supported Distros
- Debian 10
- Debian 11
- Debian 12
- Ubuntu 18.04
- Ubuntu 20.04
- Ubuntu 22.04
## Requirements
- SSH-Connection to your server
- Root Access to server (Script need to be executed as root)
- Linux-based operating systems (only on [Supported Distros](https://github.com/officialrealTM/mcserver_installer#supported-distros))
- Git needs to be installed on the server --> [Installation](https://github.com/officialrealTM/mcserver_installer#installation)

- Using Spigot's offical [BuildTools](https://www.spigotmc.org/wiki/buildtools/) to compile the spigot.jar(s)

## Installation
Prerequisites:
```bash
apt install git
```
Downloading the script:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/officialrealTM/mcserver_installer.git
```
## Run the Script
Go into the downloaded folder:
```bash
cd mcserver_installer
```
Start the Script:
```bash
./mcserver_installer.sh
```
## FAQ
#### **Can I use this Script on other Distros?**
No. At least not yet. The Script has been developed and tested on --> [Supported Distros](https://github.com/officialrealTM/mcserver_installer#supported-distros).
To disable the Distro check see: [Experimental Settings](https://github.com/officialrealTM/mcserver_installer#experimental-settings)
#### **Where are my Serverfiles located?**
You Minecraft Server files will get stored in `/Servers/Minecraft-`
When installing multiple servers of the same type (e.g. two Minecraft 1.8.9 Servers) the second folder will be called `Minecraft--1` (or 2 and so on)
#### **Can I run more than one server at once?**
Yes. But here you need to keep a few things in mind:
- Your Linux server need to be powerfull enough
- You need to adjust the Port of the second/third/etc. Minecraft server (because Port 25565 is already in use.) This can be adjusted in the `server.properties` file
#### **Can I change the amount of RAM allocated to my Minecraft Server after the installation?**
Yes. To do so go to your Server folder (`cd /Servers/Minecraft-`) and open the `start.sh`file.
In the last line of this file you can adjust the number after `-Xmx` to adjust more or less ram.
#### **Can I use this script to install Snapshot Versions of Minecraft?**
**No.** This script can only install full game versions. Snapshot Versions are not supported!
#### **I've accidentally closed my Minecraft console. How can I open it again?**
Dont worry, the console will kept open in the background using *screen*.
Use this command, to show all active screen sessions:`screen -ls`
If only one Sessions is active you can use this command, to open it: `screen -rx`
If multiple Sessions are active use this command: `screen -rx `
#### **How to close (detach) my console?**
To close (detach) you Minecraft Console press **[CTRL]**+**[A]** and than **[CTRL]**+**[D]**
#### **More questions?**
