Minecraft NodeJS

A NodeJS script to load a minecraft server and allow it to be controlled via get or post requests.

####Instructions: SSH into our server

    ssh root@ipaddress

Create a user

    adduser yournewuser // new user
    visudo

add in the lines appropriately

    root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
    yournewuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

close terminal and ssh in with the new user

    ssh yournewuser@ipaddress

install git and clone repo the repo

    sudo apt-get install git
    git clone https://github.com/mononz/Minecraft-NodeJS.git

install java and download minecraft

    sudo apt-get install default-jdk // install jdk
    java -version // check it is installed
    wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/versions/1.8.3/minecraft_server.1.8.3.jar // download minecraft server

run server and

    java -Xmx512M -Xms256M -jar minecraft_server.1.8.3.jar nogui // run server
    nano eula.txt // accept the eula
    java -Xmx512M -Xms256M -jar minecraft_server.1.8.3.jar nogui // run server again

if everything is good, we can proceed :)

we need nodejs and pm2

    sudo apt-get install nodejs
    sudo apt-get install npm
    sudo npm install -g pm2

now that nodejs is installed and our node process manager is installed we can get started on starting the server using node

    npm install
    pm2 start app.js

the minecraft server should be running now. Monitor the script and logs using

    pm2 list 
    // and
    pm2 logs

In a browser open up: http://your.ip.address:3000/command?Body=/help or http://your.ip.address:3000/command?Body=/list and see the output.

Start hacking and enjoy your minecraft server :)
