User Story
As a user, I want minecraft to start so that it is playable.
Basic info
- Distro: Debian 10 (turnkey gameserver 16.2)
- Game: Minecraft
- Command: [Monitor]
- LinuxGSM version: 21.5.1
Further Information
After creating a new server using the turnkey gameserver template, minecraft won't start. This is due to the fact that the version of Java installed on the server is 11.0.14, while the latest Minecraft server requires a later version (16 or 17).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Create a new game server using the "debian-10-turnkey-gameserver_16.2-1_amd64.tar.gz" template.
- Start the server
- Log in to the server
sudo su - gameuser to become the gameuser user.- Issue the command
gameserver/mcserver start
Expected behaviour
The minecraft server should start
Observed behavior
The command reports "Unable to start world [worldname]". A little more digging reveals that the java command is throwing an error about not understanding the jar file format, which then reveals that the default Java version is 11 and that latest minecraft release requires 16 or 17. I'm not sure if the community would be better served by having the latest version of Java installed or by simply installing an older version of the minecraft server that works with the older version of Java.
