Installing:

• CAUTION:
  • Please make sure that GNU Screen is installed on your system, otherwise the service will not work.

  • The paths, parameters (e.g. -Xmx, -Xms) and server .jar file name in the script are all examples. Please change them according to the actual situation.
• Steps:
  • Adjust the content of scripts according to your needs. For example: the file name of the systemd service script, Java command arguments, Screen session name and so on

Useful tips:

• Start/stop the MC server service: systemctl start/stop mc
• View MC server console: screen -x mc
• Exit MC server console: First press 'Ctrl+A' then press 'D'
• Enter /stop in the MC server console can also let the server stop normally but it will automatically restart after 15 seconds beacuse of the service.
• Server stop caused by fatal error(in a short word: crash) will also be restarted automatically.
• Restart interval can be set in the systemd script.
• Type systemctl stop mc after /stop can cancel the automatic restart.
• Set/cancel MC server autorun at boot: systemctl enable/disable mc
