A Minecraft Server installer and configuration snap that downloads the latest .jar file and allows you to start your server with the amount of RAM you choose.
Admins may now run custom MAX RAM settings! Minimum RAM requirements are 1024M, so please keep this in mind. Additionally, -Xmn values have been reduced to 128M to keep with current guidance. See: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Server/Requirements
You can also backup your entire server with option 10 in the menu. They are pushed to /home/user/ so that uninstalling the snap won't affect your backups.
Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Leap 15.5 users, for example, can do this with the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.5 snappy
Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.5 for openSUSE_Leap_15.4 or openSUSE_Tumbleweed if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install mc-server-installer, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install mc-server-installer
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
