This package installs helper scripts and infrastructure to run a minecraft server. While it does not ship the server jar file, the scripts will guide you through the process of installing the minecraft server jar, accepting the EULA and managing the minecraft server once it is up and running.
minecraft-server-jdstrand 16.04.* uses openjdk-8 and is known compatible with minecraft server < 1.17 and incompatible with minecraft server 1.17 and higher. For the time being, this will continue to be available in the beta channel.
minecraft-server-jdstrand 20.04.* is available via the stable and edge channels and ships with openjdk-8, openjdk-17 and openjdk-21. People upgrading from minecraft-server-jdstrand 16.04.* will continue to use openjdk-8. New installs will default to openjdk-21 to facilitate running the latest minecraft server out of the box (eg, minecraft serrver 1.20.5 requires openjdk-21). The java version may be set via a configuration file and upgrades from 20.04.* will use the previously configured version.
See 'minecraft-server-jdstrand.util help' for details.

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 is available for CentOS 7.6+, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command:
sudo yum install epel-release
Snap can now be installed as follows:
sudo yum install snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install minecraft-server-jdstrand, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install minecraft-server-jdstrand
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
