Docker container for Minecraft Client

This is a Docker container for Minecraft Java Client. This is a proof of concept ^^

The GUI of the application is accessed through a modern web browser (no installation or configuration needed on client side) or via any VNC client.

---

How to run it

First build the container

git clone https://github.com/acaranta/docker-minecraft-client.git
cd docker-minecraft-client
git build -t mcclient .

Then Run it

docker run -d --name mcclient -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 -v <LOCALPATHDIR>:/config/.minecraft mcclient

Or just run it

Or, if you don't want to build it, this repository get build after each commit into docker hub : https://hub.docker.com/r/acaranta/docker-minecraft-client

docker run -d --name mcclient -p 5800:5800 -p 5900:5900 -v <LOCALPATHDIR>:/config/.minecraft acaranta/docker-minecraft-client

where :

• LOCALPATHDIR is the local directory where minceracft launcher/login data will be saved between sessions
• 5800-5900 ports are VNC ports

Access it

just use your regular web browser to reach : http://<YOURDOCKERHOST>:5800 and voila !

Gameplay

NB : For mouse to work "properly", in Minecraft :

• Go to : Options->Controls->Mouse Settings
• Make sure Raw input is OFF
• Decrease Sensitivity to 50% (and adjust to your liking :) )

SECURITY NOTICE

This is indeed a proof of concept and overall it should not used (if useable anyway lol) because :

• this is http only, traffic is nt encrypted
• there is no password to accss the vnc display
• Files will be stored on your machine, but you are responsible for securing the local storage
