-Ensure buildx/BuildKit support is enabled and run:
 
-```shell script
-docker buildx build --platform=linux/arm64 --platform=linux/arm/v7 --platform=linux/amd64 --tag itzg/minecraft-server:multiarch --push .
+## Building image locally with alternate Java base
+
+The following shows how to change the base Java image used by the build:
+
+```shell
+docker build --build-arg BASE_IMG=ghcr.io/graalvm/graalvm-ce:ol8-java11 -t IMG_PREFIX/minecraft-server:java11-graalvm .
+```
+
+## Building a multi-architecture image
+
+Ensure buildx/BuildKit support is enabled and run the following to build multi-architecture and push to the repository as named by the image:
+
+```shell
+docker buildx build --platform=linux/arm64 --platform=linux/arm/v7 --platform=linux/amd64 --tag IMG_PREFIX/minecraft-server --push .
+```
+
+To build for local images, multi-architecture is not supported, use the following with buildx to load the image into the local daemon:
+
+```shell
+docker buildx build --tag IMG_PREFIX/minecraft-server --load .
 ```
 
-To build for local testing, use:
+or just a plain build
 
-```shell script
-docker buildx build --platform=linux/amd64 --tag mc-multiarch --load .
+```shell
+docker build -t IMG_PREFIX/minecraft-server .
 ```
